Those old companies went out of business but the government should of stepped in and kept them around for the less fortunate of society.

The telephone lines were removed, most of the power to operate them came from the telephone line. The coin mechanism was very minimal.

The age of cell towers took over.

i don’t understand how engineers couldn’t just reinvent the wheel and just update the hardware on the emergency phones on the freeways and the payphones, by giving them a card reader (or now a days, a chip reader or wireless tap)

Well, Pacific Bell was in charge over all that on the west coast and they ended up becoming AT&T but instead of updating what they had, they came up with a whole new system with personal cell phones and slowly phased out the freeway emergency lines and pay phones.

They definitely could and probably know exactly how to do it no problem. But that would take away profits from somewhere or somebody high up the food chain.

Yea that was probably a merge or else with AT&T. The corporate world swallows up smaller ones all the time. They become the new corporation.

Who knows. Would make quality of life better, I believe, for some people.

I think they either merged or just changed their name completely. I think it was in the late 90’s when Nokia was the cell phone king.

Wow I didn't expect to see you here hehe.
I don't think I've ever listened to them.

 

[Subhumanoidal]

I didn't think you'd be a fan of this. But it's cool you enjoy it. 🙂
Also, what are you doing up so early? Or late, rather? Hmm?
