I'd just declare this part of the cost of living (half the credits a character earns on adventures) rather than nickel-and-dime characters making calls. And this assumes that not everyone wears a chronocom. Public-access computer terminals would be similar, though their uses would be limited, probably to touristy functions like maps and listing liner schedules. Most public assistance is probably handled by robots, rather than by computer, and translations are more likely to be handled by polyvox than by computer terminal. Banks may have their own computer infrastructure with a level 6 commerce program, acting much like modern ATMs. |
