Mobile-phone service at New York subway
A New York Metropolitan Transportation Authority program that will offer mobile-phone service at subway stations will be tested in six locations starting Sept. 27, an agency official said.
Of the subway’s 468 stations, 191 are either elevated or at street level. That will leave 271 stations to be wired for service after next week’s debut.
AT&T and T-Mobile signed 10-year agreements with Transit Wireless last year, the Bloomberg Business Week reports.
