Here's a good idea. New York City wants to repurpose old pay phone kiosks
by turning the locations into Wi-Fi hotspots across the city’s five boroughs.

Many of these pay phone kiosks have fallen into disrepair as the telephone companies that used to operate them spend less and less time on their
upkeep. Residents complain that many of the kiosks have become unsightly
and crime magnets.

The city seems to believe that giving a new purpose to these pay phones addresses these important concerns, as well as providing more Internet
access around the city.

Ten locations in Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Queens were brought online Wednesday. The city says additional hotspots would be turned on in the “coming months,” in places like Staten Island and the Bronx. The service is
free and available to passersby within 300 feet of these kiosks. Currently the service includes no advertisements.

That’s likely not to last: Each installation costs about $2,000, and is being paid for by Van Wagner Communications and Titan Communication, which own a majority of the city’s 13,000 pay phones.

Try a Hotspot Out
If you live in or are traveling to New York City, here’s the official list of initial phone kiosk hotspot locations:

So did I. Drummed out isn't the best word. She left in disgust, IIRC.

BTW Alan, you replied to this thread way back. Any thoughts on this? Or experience with cities that have implemented same?

It's the very first hit when you do a web search for "new york city
phone booths WiFi".

A good netizen always searches for the solution on their own before
asking for others for help. But since they both apparently are here in
this thread primarily to troll, we can't expect that much of them.

I don't recall replying to it and I'm somewhat disinterested at present.

Almost everywhere I go I have more than ample connectivity via my iPhone
and that includes using it as a hotspot for my laptop, iPad or in one 2
week long case for my SO's iPhone...

IME where free WiFi exists it's of very variable quality and often over subscribed to the point of near uselessness. Why, when I travel, I
often purchase a SIM for a local telCo - unless on vacation where I tend
to tune out as much as possible.

Here's an eight year old thread that raises an interesting question; >>>>>>>>> does anyone have a followup?

Here you go: <https://www.link.nyc>

Thank you, but not interested in links. Just folks' experience.

You asked or a status update. So I looked up the name of the
initiative, found the official website where they tell you exactly the >>>>>> kind of information you claim to want to know (all of which you could >>>>>> have done yourself in a matter of seconds), and that's the thanks I >>>>>> get.

Your behavior is noted for future interactions.

LOL... I just realized you're not even the person who asked the
question.

Fuck off, chump. Nobody in this thread asked for your input.

Wow. Ever since you came to these NG's the tone has gotten worse every >>>> year.

Yeah, someone asked a question, gets and answer, and you jump in whining >>> the answer wasn't the answer you wanted.

What a fucking cunt.

Ah, Lewis the child with a foul mouth.

So you're okay with John McWilliams jumping into the middle of the
thread just to make an offhand comment about not wanting to follow
links, even though the link in question actually gives you the
information you wanted? But someone uses some curse words, and that's
where you draw the line?

"John" and "Rocket"'re the same idiot sockpuppet cunt.
