Hi Brian,
BL>Simple.  Our carriers proposed it the regulator approved it and
BL>the paying public did not object loud enough so we have cellular
BL>subscriber pays for in and out calls.
Shame about that. I think that the public was really suckered but I 
suppose until a player comes into the field who offers "caller pays:, 
then it looks like you're stuck with the present arrangements.
Thereps probably not much chance of this, as any new player would not 
wish to deny himself this very nice and lucrative piece of revenue.
BL>may change when pcs starting gobbling up their market though.
What is PCS? I have a feeling that something like this may have ben 
proposed here but I'm not sure whether it is the same system. Could you 
enlighten me?
Cheers - Ziggy
