New York City Subway Platforms to Go Wireless in Revived Accord »

soupsoup:

After an almost three-year delay, work is set to begin on a $200 million plan to bring mobile- phone and Wi-Fi service to New York’s subway stations.

Wi-Fi will be great; phone service on the subway - not so much. Not looking forward to hearing New York’s conversations under ground.
