These proposals are expected to yield additional
$10 million
revenue of approximately $m/over the next two years.
However, the company has undertaken to use this extra
revenue to help fund less profitable but socially
desirable public services such as public payphones in low
usage areas and emergency helplines. Revenue from private
payphone rental is covered by the Scheme of Control.
*
Whilst some current private payphone renters would have
their revenue from private payphones reduced as a result
of these proposals, most private payphone renters would
nevertheless continue to make an attractive net return and
those with private payphones in low usage sites would have
an improved return. There are currently about 900 private
payphones in service. The call charge for these payphones
that is, will remain unchanged, $1 per call as at present.
