Touchtone may be cheaper than pulse dialing in terms of the equipment
required to process it and the time it takes to process the dialing
but the exchange must still support pulse dialing.

Is this true? If so, it may be the only justification for charging
more for tone dialing. Have any exchanges been built/modified so that
ONLY tone dialing works?
