The Other Side TORONTO -- If Canadians think they have expensive telephone service, they should take a look at what some European countries put up with! Two cases in point were brought to our attention recently by Alf Williams, Installation Co-Ordinator, Toronto Area. Alf received a postcard from a friend in Israel who had beena constant critic of Bell Canada's service. This gentleman wrote: "Telephones here are scarce. One of our hosts has been waiting six years. My present host didn't even ask for one because he figured he wouldn't live that long. He's 69."' Alf himself spent some time last year in Scandinavia as part of the 14th World Scouting Jamboree. While there he discovered his host had waited a year and a half for a telephone -- after paying a deposit of $100 which was non-refundable! The host didn't seem to think this was too unusual. The same gentleman also paid about $20 a month flat rate for his telephone which was payable every three months, plus a charge for every call. This charge varied by the length of the call, time of day and distance, but still applied to all calls. And horror of horrors -- pay phones in Scandinavia Alf discovered had ho return chute. So, no matter whether he got a wrong number, no answer to his call, misdialed, or found all circuits busy -- he still lost his money. And some people think Can- adian service is expensive!
