Regarding the Argentine phone system:  Some years ago, when I was at
GTE, one of our engineers went down there to work on a PABX and
brought back some stories about the phone service. For example,
wealthy people have no trouble getting dial tone. When they want to
make a call, they inform a servant who then removes the handset from
the phone. The maid or butler is the one who waits for dial tone (up
to a half hour, if I recall correctly).
