LinkNYC kiosks not a hit with everyone
What the Heck Is This Doing Here?
Hundreds of 9-1/2-foot-tall LinkNYC kiosks — which provide free phone, Wi-Fi service and USB charging stations — have been installed across the city, with more coming every day. While they are getting increased usage, the kiosks, which come equipped with three built-in cameras and advertising, are not popular with everyone.
Case in point: Cobble Hill resident Judith Barnes came back from a vacation last week only to find a LinkNYC kiosk installed on the sidewalk directly in front of her apartment window.
Barnes is the founder of Vertical Player Repertory, a critically acclaimed opera company operating out of her home at 219 Court St. near Warren Street.
