Telephone waiting period I ve removed this citation of an example For example before privatization a consumer or business would need to wait up to 10 years to get a local telephone line installed from the monopolistic state run telephone company A couple of years after privatization the wait was reduced to just a few days This unsourced claim had been challenged and now someone is claiming personal experience as the source which would make it original research The citation of a precise period of this magnitude for installation of a phone line isn t especially incredible however if it s true it should be reliably sourced Tony Sidaway
