Now, the city’s Department of Information Technology and Telecommunications has put out a brand-new request for proposals. This time, it’s not for pie-in-the-sky designs—it’s for real budgets and designs to create a “citywide Wi-Fi network and state-of-the-art information hubs.”
There are roughly 11,000 pay phones scattered across the city, and this plan would retrofit up to 10,000 of them with new hardware that would broadcast free Wi-Fi, financed by ad revenue, within 85 feet of the station.
