On the other hand, the terminals have only limited keyboards, operate
in 1200/75 bps mode (or some other similar rate) and have not
been very popular.  The whole idea was to save the cost of phone
books, but the population has been giving extremely mixed reviews to the
service, finding that in many cases a physical phone book is far more
convenient, and often can give faster response time!
