NYC Challenges Citizens to Reinvent the Pay Phone
New York's Mayor Michael Bloomberg, along with his tech and digital teams, have challenged innovators to come up with a use for the city's 11,000 pay phones.
The Reinvent Payphones Design Challenge targets urban planners, technologists and policy experts. It aims to find data and design-inspired ideas to modernize the city's infrastructure, before the pay phones' contracts expire in 2014.
"From Wi-Fi in public spaces to the High Line, our Administration has continuously reinvented City infrastructure by matching innovative concepts with extraordinary designs," Bloomberg said at the New York Tech Meetup Tuesday evening.
