In 1959 the public "red phone" and
"blue phone" are joined by a new service, the 'Special
Simplified Public Telephone.' Nicknamed the "pink phone,"
these new public phones enable ordinary subscriber lines to be used
as public telephones, and are installed as a service to customers in
high-traffic areas such as apartment buildings, hospitals and coffee
shops. Not purely public telephones, the "pink phones" can
be placed inside buildings in any location the subscriber desires. |
