BT kills the phone box and announces new Wi-Fi and phone charging kiosks to go in their place

BT has announced that it will be replacing its famous and much-revered red boxes with new kiosks. Those kiosks won't allow people to hide in them, but will otherwise offer the modern version of phonebox technology – super fast Wi-Fi, free calls and chargers for phones, instead of traditional handsets. The new kiosks will start opening up on major high streets in London from next year. They'll eventually roll out to the rest of the country – though there'll be fewer of them than there are traditional phone boxes.
