[comp.dcom.telecom] Telecom Assistance Available for Kurdish Refugees

cmoore@brl.mil (04/15/91)

On the ABC-TV network on Saturday 13 April, I heard on World News
Saturday, among news about the Kurdish refugees near the Turkey/Iraq
border, of two pay phones having been put on a mountain in that area
for those refugees.


[Moderator's Note: If there ever were a group of people for whom my
heart goes out at this time, it would be the Kurds; they've been
through so much in the past several months as have the citizens of
Iraq. The phones will help them establish / maintain contact with
family and loved ones.  Do you know which telecom organization did the
installation of the units?   PAT]

With the kind of luck they've had over the years, the two phones are
probably COCOTs!
