The
payphone, which has changed little in its 100-plus year history, is not
escaping the wireless revolution. Ask a telecommunications official from
Ghana to recall how many payphones there were in his country in 1998. The
answer would be that only 35 payphones were servicing the entire country,
32 of which were located in the capital city of Accra. This year, there
are over two hundred payphones and the number is growing. The reason for
this is that the Ghanaian authorities decided that the quickest and most
economical solution for improving its telecommunications infrastructure
was the wireless payphone. |
