Fortune magazine reports Toronto, Montreal, and Kingston are turning pay phones into Wi Fi Internet Connections

I've thought to myself on several occasions that the usage of pay phones must have dramatically decreased as cell phones became nearly as ubituitous as body piercings on a street in any major city in California.

Kudos to these folks for a very cool solution to this new reality.

There's a less glamorous factor. Many stores have removed their outside payphones because they make popular places for drug dealers to congregate. Primary reason in many neighborhoods here in Durham, NC.
