alt Hacker NewsI remember reading some stats on the Telstra phone boxes, they help a lot of people in need. A ton of calls go to emergency services, government services, etc.
I would be keen to know the total cost to run and maintain everything. There is a ton of boxes still around.

Is it common for providers to charge for emergency service access? I thought this was a given.

The costs are offset by the fact of the boxes providing free advertising for Telstra. That's the main reason they keep them operational.
