这家互联网巨头为了完成这一计划甚至还成立了专门的公司,名字就叫人行道实验室(Sidewalk Labs)。
How will they do this you ask – through turning 10,000 of the big apple’s old phone booths into ad-supported ‘Wi-Fi pylons’.
你或许会问,谷歌要如何完成这一计划?他们的做法是把纽约市里多达1万个的老旧电话亭改装成带数字面板和大型广告牌的“柱子”,这些“柱子”将为附近一定范围内的区域提供免费WiFi。
These converted booths are also intended to provide cell-phone charging, free domestic phone calls and a touch screen information hub about the city and transit3 directions.
这些改装后的“柱子”,其功能还包括免费手机充电、拨打市内电话、上网,以及获取本地服务和信息等。
According to Bloomberg News, these ‘pylons’ will be rolled out across New York this autumn.
