Pay
phones taken away in Havana 147325
HAVANA, November 5 (cubanet.sergipeconectado.com) -
s of the Cuban telephone company
announced they were taking away pay phones
in an under-served area of Havana because
the service was not profitable.
The phones, located in front of a kiosk
at Albear and 5th Streets, in the Palatino
district of El Cerro, served an area of
approximately 12,000 s with a density
of 800 per telephone.
Officials of the Popular Power [local government]
have appealed to the phone company to install
at least five phones in the area without
success.
Residents, predictably, were upset with
the measure. s often have to wait in
line for up to an hour to use a public phone.
