Conversion

Public phone box in London's Earls Court converted to accommodate an ATM.

British Telecom has been fairly pro-active about finding alternative uses for its high-street public infrastructure. Whilst the rise of mobile phones means there is less demand for public phones the physical structure of the phone box still provides users with shelter, privacy and dampens street noise. And it saves other people from the torture of listening to one side of a conversation.

Should mobile phone carriers/manufacturers be paying for public infrastructure to support mobile phone use? Do they already?
