NWP makes millions each year from it's payphone business.

BT and kingston communications have to comply by the universal obligations:

*Provide access to 999,100,112 and all 0800 services.
*provide access to directory services
*provide access to other service provider calling cards
*maintain kiosks and phones
*Cannot remove kiosks unless they have been told to do so by authorities. Or if the community have not opposed BT kiosks being removed.

NWP,Infolines,Euro-payphone ect... have to comply by the General conditions of entitlement:

*Provide access to 999,112 and 100 services
*Do not have to maintain kiosks
*Can remove or place a kiosk when the company wants to.
*Bar access to freephone services if they want to.
*Do not have to provide access to 118 directory services.

Telewest would have more freedom than BT obviously.
