Citizens of other world cities have long laughed at our puny subway system's lack of cell phone service, but by January 2012 AT&T and T-Mobile subscribers who only ride the subway in Chelsea will have the last laugh. City Room reports that a firm by the name of Transit Wireless will be bringing cell phone service and wireless internet to subway stations at 14th Street and Sixth Avenue, 14th Street and Seventh Avenue, 14th Street and Eighth Avenue, and 23rd Street and Eighth Avenue. As of right now Verizon subscribers will be left in the digital dark, and wireless transmitters likely won't cover most of the tunnels between stations, so there will still be a few places in the city where you aren't subject to strangers' phone conversations. Progress!
