In this summer's movie DIE HARD 2**, which supposedly takes place in
Dulles International Airport (Washington DC), the payphones have a
prominent Pac*Bell logo on them.  Do they really provide the service
in Dulles?  Or was this an unavoidable glitch due to shooting in LA?
Or just a plug for the highest bidder?  (GTE was featured prominently
on the in-flight public phone, and hundreds of other vendors had their
little plugs too -- this has become par for the course in movies.)

** Mini review -- not as tight as the first one, even less believable,
but still good for laughs and ouch! type thrills.  See it on a hot,
boring afternoon.
