Current News Public Phone Network Completion The complete upgrade of public phones to be compatible with network terminals (Net Phone Box) that started last year is nearly complete. This overhaul connects all of the public phones in the country with a fiber optic net which allows a 100Mbps connection to the internet using any public phone. Some skeptics have said the completion of the project within a year was unlikely due to the delay in development of interchangeable software with the key OS "ALTIMIT," but the hard work of all parties involved has been rewarded. Though most cell phones, PDA, and laptops are able to connect, machines without a Net Phone Box compatibility will require a separate adapter. With hopes of new demands, manufacturers are developing new products and accessories for the market.
