New generation phone boxes in London

British Telecom has announced that it will soon begin providing Londoners with free public Wi-Fi, free phone calls and free charging in a range of hotspots.

The service will be known as LinkUK, with kiosks hitting London's streets next year.

Hundreds of users within range of a Link will be able to access free Wi-Fi (which claims to hit speeds of up to 1GB/s), as well as gain access to maps, directions and local services.

Gerry McQuade, CEO of BT Wholesale and said: "We're evolving the phone box to make it relevant in the 21st century by offering people ultrafast Wi-Fi and a range of digital and information services entirely for free."
