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

Sad to say, the author was drummed out of usenet by trolls and/or
shitheads.

From what I remember of Michelle she wasn't the kind to be drummed out
of anywhere she'd rather remain. I traded a few e-mails with her back
in the day...

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?

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.

“LinkNYC” is the actual name of the communications network under discussion. That is a legitimate URL and the site is worth a few minutes of exploration.

You can fuck off too. : ) Neither of you have contributed anything
nearly as helpful as I have in this thread, which is clear for all to

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.

Still not convinced that's the root cause.

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.

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