That reminds me of the Washington Dulles Airport located near
Washington DC

the local telco in that area is GTE, but Kellee and Bell Atlantic both
have COCOTS there.

Yes, Bell Atlantic is installing COCOTS in non-Bell regions (GTE in my
area of Virginia). 

Strange that a telco is installing COCOTS in regions that it doesn't
serve for POTS service.

In regular Bell Atlantic areas - the pay phones are regular Western
Electric fortresses that operate normally (not COCOT-ized)
