Years ago I did a video about "Link NYC" I was mostly concerned about the possibility of surveillance through the cameras.

Some observations about how linkNYC is used:
* Emergency calls. This was the main reason something needed to replace the payphones. Even at time of removal payphones were still important for emergencies.
* Information network: the screens can get information to the whole city in an emergency.
* charging phones: they have USB ports where people charge their phones. Some annoying people complain about "homeless people" (how do you know) using them? IDK I've used them in a pinch.
