York as part of a trial the company
hopes will eventually span across the
whole of the world.
The internet giant has even gone as
far as to set up a company
specifically dedicated to the task,
called Sidewalk Labs.
How will they do this you ask –
through turning 10,000 of the big
apple’s old phone booths into ad-
supported ‘Wi-Fi pylons’.
These converted booths are also
intended to provide cell-phone
charging, free domestic phone calls
and a touch screen information
hub about the city and transit
directions.
According to Bloomberg News,
these ‘pylons’ will be rolled out
across New York this autumn.
