Google wants to turn a phone booth in Wi-Fi hotspots

The city of New York wants to take forward a project to transform the telephone booths in Wi-Fi hotspots and challenged more than 50 potential interested parties to submit proposals to the Department of information technology and telecommunications. Google is one of the largest stakeholders, but will face competition from other weight technology, such as Cisco, IBM and Samsung, according to information put forward by Bloomberg.


The company responsible for the search engine is pursuing efforts to increase digital access in the United States (and around the world), in order to win more users and to benefit their advertising services. It should be noted that Google is also working on providing broadband services in several North American cities, which already offers wireless access in the region of Mountain View (site of their headquarters) and New York City neighborhood of Chelsea (where has an Office).

The project challenges the companies to create new designs to replace the current telephone booths-and which are more than 7300-and to provide Wi-Fi, telephone and advertising services in all five boroughs of New York. The goal of the Chamber is that companies can charge for telephone service, but not for the Internet access.

Despite the origin of the project remount the 2012, when Michael Bloomberg was Mayor of New York, the arrival of Bill of destinations of leadership Blasio ' Big Apple ' came to give new impetus to the initiative. The Board intends that the Wi-Fi hotspots work together, allowing the user to stay connected as you move through the city.
