This was in today's Globe & Mail for those of you thinking of doing the Quebec, Labrador, Newfoundland Nova Scotia road loop. Enjoy, Malcolm : Drivers can borrow Newfoundland phones Friday, January 24, 2003 – Print Edition, Page A8 St. John's -- The Newfoundland and Labrador government will lend satellite telephones to motorists who plan to drive the isolated Trans-Labrador Highway. The 500-kilometre highway is little more than a two-lane gravel road with only one community, Churchill Falls, about midway and no cellphone service. The government said Wednesday that a pilot project will begin within a few months, allowing motorists to pick up the phones from the police for a fee before heading out. |
