Free Wi-Fi Coming to New York City Subways

According to Mashable, Transit Wireless LLC will be bring free Wifi to the NYC subway system within three years. Broadcast Australia has footed the bill, which will bring NYC up to speed with Singapore, Berlin and Tokyo — all of which currently have Wi-Fi in the tubes.

Back in 2007, Transit Wireless LLC had promised to get the job done in 10 years, now it has two years to outfit six stations near New York’s Union Square, and then four more years for the other 271 platforms. The Wi-Fi comes in the form of smoke detector-size antennas, and will afford passengers access on platforms, mezzanines and in sections of the tunnels (not the whole tunnel).

So basically, you will now see people using facetime [who you will think are crazy] at Starbucks, & NYC subways.
