Random event: I just walked by one of these (Grand Central-UN area) on my way to the library today and said "Wow. I wonder why I didn't hear about this before...or see it before?" So I started looking for other payphones/WiFi-stations and didn't see one.

Great idea.

I wonder if hotels, and other businesses that want to attract taxi drivers awaiting fares, will push to convert nearby pay phones to WiFi, thinking drivers might prefer to wait near a WiFi hotspot.
