   Last time I was on jury duty, the bailiff made a bit of noise about   
   call phones - obviously off in the court-room, but also in the rest of   
   the complex.

   For a phone company, they were an expense to maintain.   The cost of   
   collecting the coins (armored car service, etc), and auditing would   
   out-weigh any profit now.   The idea of abandoning the phones/kiosks   
   would not set well with the property/building owner, I'm sure
