{Public Communications Magazine} lists the top twenty pay phone
operators, ranked by the number of phones they report owning,
managing, or operating. Each of these companies must operate at least
1300 phones to qualify for the list. The top twenty are (it makes me
feel a little like David Letterman):
1. Navy Resale and Support Office (Staten Island, NY)
2. People's Telephone Co. (Miami FL)
3. Tele-America Communications Corp. (Atlanta GA)
4. TNC (McLean VA)
5. Cal Tel Inc. (Beverly Hills CA)
6. Telaleasing Enterprises (Tampa FL)
7. US Tele-Comm Inc. (Great Neck NY)
8. Atlantic Telco (Beltsville MD)
9. Viking Manufacturing Co. (Alsip IL)
10. Pay-Tel Phone Systems (San Leandro CA)
11. FaxMail by Hotelcopy (Miami FL)
12. Telco Service America (Elk Grove Village IL)
13. Intellicall Inc. (Carrolton TX)
14. Eastern Pay Phones (Richmond VA)
15. Teleprofits of Texas (Houston TX)
16. Payphone Service Co. Inc. (Ft. Lauderdale FL)
17. Phone Tel Technologies, Inc. (Cleveland OH)
18. Multiplex Services Inc. (Woodside NY)
19. Pacific Pay Telephones (Van Nuys CA)

telcos!
