Boston Underground Railway Gets Cell Phone Coverage
Accoding to a report by the Boston Globe, passengers on Boston's
public transport train service can now use their mobile phone
in selected areas of the underground network. Massachusetts
Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA) General Manager Daniel
A. Grabauskas announced that wireless services are available,
for the first time ever, in the train tunnels connecting the
four downtown Boston stations that comprise the core of the
nation's first subway.
Customers can also use their mobile phones from the eight
train platforms at Park Street, Downtown Crossing, Government
Center, and State Street Stations. The service is currently
limited to customers of T-Mobile, AT&T and Verizon Wireless.
Additional stations and tunnels are expected to be added
to the underground wireless network in 2008 and 2009.
A company by the name of Transit Wireless recently struck
a deal with New York City Transit to spend up to $200 million
to wire (or unwire as the case may be) all 277 NYC subway
stations.
