DuPz0r 5361 Report post Posted May 11, 2012 The Century old phone kiosk famous for its red colour and design. Losing their relevance in today's world of tech, The London Red telephone box has just been brought into modern times across London, with a WiFi injection recently. More than 1,500 of them have been updated due to their lack of use. Everyone owns a mobile phone these days, and the red box is only used as a scabby back road prostitute catalogue. The box's were in need of dire restoration to preserve their relevance, and not just for their iconic look. So then, will a WiFi hotspot make these things more popular, and more importantly, bring up the amount of people using them? I can see it now, masses of people crowding around them with their tablets and phones on their way to work, or on their lunch break. I can also see robbers and pickpockets prying around them waiting for people to bag their devices to they can snatch them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brian 972 Report post Posted May 11, 2012 Guess it's a cool idea. I like the phone booths, however in the US we don't use phone booths, just pay phone areas, and those are rarely used anymore. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mercy 30 Report post Posted May 11, 2012 I like red phone boxes and it would be a shame for them to vanish, so I guess it could be a good plan, considering how many are in London you would have WiFi anywhere really. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
