UK: BT Hangs Up on Internet Payphone

Tim Richardson writes on The Register:

BT has pulled the plug in an ambitious scheme to replace 28,000 red phone boxes with all-singing, all-dancing Internet-enabled payphones.

The Sunday Times reported that just 1,300 of the Marconi-built e-payphones - which offer Net access, email and text messaging, along with traditional voice services - have been installed over the last four years. And while it doesn't plan to install any more, there's still a question mark over the future of those already in operation.
