There was a time when making a long-distance or international call meant walking to the nearest phone booth, and standing in line followed by a few minutes of claustrophobic experience. With the cellular network growth, and internet email/chat, these are going the way of the dinosaur. And rightfully so, since their time is up.
With another dozen or so players being allowed to start cellular services, prices are set to fall even more substantially soon. That will be final nail in the PCO booth.
On a positive note, it should be a little bit more pleasant now to walk on the sidewalks without these booths encroaching on whatever little space was available. Hopefully, a majority of the people employed by these booths will find replacement jobs with the cellular players.
Is the ATM booth headed the same way when payment through cellphone takes off ? Leapfrogging is good!
