AT&T's Public Communications unit has continued to experience significant pressure from reduced pay phone usage, primarily as a result of
the growth of alternative communications choices, such as wireless phones and personal communication devices.
The company plans to phase out both public pay phones and phones provided under contracts at government correctional facilities through the
end of next year. All customers will receive advance notification of specific plans as well as information on other potential providers and product options.
