When In Ypsilanti, Make Free ‘Payphone’ Calls | #futel @futelco
A-ma-zing! Kudos to the Ann Arbor Awesome Foundation for funding this project and of course Karl Anderson for pushing the agenda forward – read all about this project here.
Last summer, I posted an interview here with a fellow in Portland by the name of Karl Anderson. Anderson, as you may recall, had formed an activism/public arts entity by the name of Futel with the goal of democratizing telecommunications through the introduction of free payphones into America’s urban centers. Well, as you may also recall, Anderson and I talked about the possibility that, one day, Ypsilanti might have a Futel phone of its own. And, today, I’m happy to announce that Ypsi’s free Futel payphone is officially open for business.
