BT tries to reinvent the phone box

Former UK telecoms monopoly BT has decided it’s time to bring back the phone box in the form of the new InLink public wifi hubs.
There can be few objects more symptomatic of the rapid evolution of the telecoms industry than the classic red telephone box. Until recently it was a ubiquitous piece of UK street furniture but now that everyone has a mobile phone those few remaining seem to serve either as impromptu public toilets or as advertising hoardings for the sex trade – often both.
