New York will turn a $500 million profit by providing free Wi-Fi throughout the city with an advertiser-funded partnership. LinkNYC is replacing the city's obsolete pay phones with 7,500 Wi-Fi kiosks, which will provide free high-speed internet to the 25% of New Yorkers who currently do not have access to broadband. The partnership is a model for cities who want to modernise their infrastructure without burdening taxpayers.
