The 9.5 foot tall futuristic small monolith, it’s called LinkNYC, and is set to beam Wi-Fi signals to all.
New York officials say about the 7,500 planned hot spots, that “their project is democratizing data access while modernizing outmoded street phones.”
The launch of LinkNYC will soon begin with a beta phase, giving New Yorkers an early opportunity to try out Link’s features, provide feedback and help us create the future of our sidewalk experience. Additional apps and services will be rolled out over the next few months and over the next decade.
