FCC Fact Sheet: Calls Made From Payphones

FCC Fact Sheet: Calls Made From Payphones: "With the widespread use and availability of wireless phones, the use of payphones has diminished. In 1996, in order to encourage competition and the availability of payphones, Congress required that payphones no longer be regulated. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) determined that deregulating local payphone rates and allowing the marketplace to set the price of local payphone calls was an essential step to achieving the goals set by Congress."
