Los Angeles' subway is getting cellphone service and WiFi
25 Jan 2015 • engadget.comA few cities in the US have wireless service in their subway systems, but not Los Angeles. Take a trip to Wilshire Boulevard, for example, and you’ll stay incommunicado until you’re back above ground. You won’t be out of touch for too much longer, though. The city and InSite Wireless have started deploying both cellular service and WiFi at subway stations, beginning with the Red Line.
A few years ago I would have called this progress. Now it just saddens me that we feel the need to be connected absolutely everywhere. The real problem isn’t the connectivity though, it’s what we do with it. I know, I know.
