MP3s From The Phone Box

An Economist writes "The .com bubble has come and gone, but the great ideas and implementations are starting to come through thick and fast now. The BBC reports on a planned development in the UK - download MP3s (or the like) from the phone box. Walking along the street and fancy a song - just plug in your iPod/MuVo/iRiver/whatever... awesome! Perhaps the lauded benefits of eCommunication are just beginning to be felt - plus it increases the viability of old-tech phone boxes, which are socially beneficial but financially challenged."

Phone Booth in the US...

[bergeron76]

When I read "Phone box", I pictured the big type of "phone box" that I used to hook my beige box up to before blue boxing.

I'm in the states and here we call it a Phone 'Booth'. A phone box here is a junction box outside of a building (or better yet, a neighborhood).

Fun times... but damn, I think I'm getting old.
