Has anyone figured out how much money a person has to spend on phone calls by 
cellular in Haiti? Just talk to the folks that use them. Compare the prices and 
you'll see if the haitians can really afford this system as a basic means of 
communication. I know people who carry up to three cell phones, one from each 
company because none of them works to their satisfaction. Try calling from 
overseas and see how many times you don't get connected even though the phones 
appear to be operating. Yes in the vaccuum of the quasi non existent land 
system, cell phones provide a valuable service, but at what cost?
