DETAILED DESCRIPTION We claim: 1.
A public modular management system, comprising: a variable number of public modular telephones; validation and identification units of public modular telephones; adaptation units of public modular telephones; an operation system of public modular telephones on a provincial scale; a center of validation and billing of credit cards and telephone subscriber cards; a variable number of maintenance units of the validation and identification units of public modular telephones; wherein said elements are framed in a hierarchical structure on a provincial and national scale, carrying out functions in real time.
2.
The public modular telephone management system of claim 1, wherein: communication between different elements constituting the system is made through the Switched Telephone Network and the Switched Packet Network, using two different communication protocols, each communication protocol operating at a different transmission rate.
3.
The public modular telephone management system of claim 1, wherein: the validation and identification units of the public modular telephones facilitate connection of public modular telephones to the Switched Telephone Network after identifying the public modular telephone, as well as exchanging information with the validation and billing center of credit cards and telephone subscriber cards, the public modular telephones effecting calls using credit cards to validate or reject the calls.
4.
The public modular telephone management system of claim 1, wherein: the validation and identification units of the public modular telephones facilitate teleprogram operation parameters in sending daily routine reports, the daily routine reports including reports of the validation and identification units themselves and those of the public modular telephones connected to them, so as to generate alarm reports from the validation and identification unit, and to concentrate messages from the public modular telephones connected to it, and to send the messages to the operation system
