Is that why crime has increased recently? No public phone booths for superman to change?

How is this relevant

Public telephone booths provided telephone access to everyone for a small fee. People who couldn't afford telephone lines in their homes (and there were many!) could still make calls. Some people even gave out the number of a phone booth near them when applying for jobs so that they could get a call back! Couldn't this paradigm be a starting point for a solution so that Internet access is available to all?

So you mean an Internet cafe/library computer?
