According to the {San Jose Mercury}, the CPUC announced yesterday that
some changes are to be made concerning COCOTs:
1. 800 calls will now be free from all payphones.
2. All local calls will be $0.20, not $0.25.
3. Local calls will be allowed at least fifteen minutes.
4. At the end of the time, the caller will hear a beep and be given the
option of inserting more money.
5. Ordered major phone utilities to offer "full coin class of service".
This could mean the end of "smart" payphones.
"Now no matter what phone you use, you should expect the same cost and
quality everywhere," according to commission spokesperson Dianne
Dienstein.

We'll see.
