Photo by Gabriel Unda - IET Mediaworks UC Davis student Anne Domenic talks on her cell phone, while using an old friend as a backrest. In October, IET-Communications Resources removed 82 of the 119 campus payphones available around campus. These payphones were not being used much and MCI, the campus phone service provider, had asked the campus to pay the difference between a unit’s actual revenue and MCI’s cost to maintain the phone. Over the years, the average revenue of campus payphones (currently $25.30 per phone) has been dropping, partly as a result of increased reliance on cell phones. Along with the remaining 37 payphones that survived the phase-out, the campus added 8 emergency phones and 11 courtesy phones in locations where public safety or communications are most critical.
