Public Radio Paging Service

With the increasing popularity of cellular phones, the number of paging
customers varied between 1.1 and one million in the year, the first sign of
level-off with a slight dip since the service was introduced in the 1970s.
At the end of 1997, 31 licensees provided public radio paging services to
one million customers (or about one in six of the population).

Paging operators adopted high speed paging technology and introduced
more value-added services, such as e-mail paging, to improve their appeal.
