Yes, it is an unusual fact, but the greater the number of telephones
in our system, the more it costs us to operate each one of them!
In most modern industries it is the other way around—the more
units involved, the smaller the cost per unit. The telephone industry is
perhaps the only major field where it is more expensive to operate a
large number of units than it is a smaller quantity.
With two telephone subscribers there is only one possible connec-
tion. With three subscribers the system must provide for three connec
tions. How many connections are required for twelve?* The answer is
66, and for 100 subscribers we must provide facilities for 4,950 possible
conversations! As the telephones increase, the necessary wires and con
nections multiply astronomically. Even with the most modern switch
boards and equipment, the cost per telephone rises as the facilities grow
larger in each exchange.
Telephone rates in almost every7 exchange of the West Coast
Telephone Company are from 20 to 28 years old, and are based on A
system much smaller than the one we operate today. Our maintenance
costs, installation costs, equipment, wages. . . all of our operating costs
have increased until we have found it an economic necessity to request
a moderate increase in our rate structure.
f *) H ork out the telephone puzzle for yourself. Place 12 dots in a circle
on a blank sheet of paper and see how many lines you can draw connecting
all of them together.
