City removes last-standing public payphone from NYC street

The Midtown payphone will be sent to the Museum of the City of New York as a relic of the times before cell phones became widely used. The exhibit, Analog City: NYC B.C. (Before Computers), opened just last Friday.

Now, 97% of U.S. adults now own cell phones (85% own smartphones) 

NYC is replacing payphone booths with kiosks offering free public wifi.
