10, 2002 An Internet Phone Goes Where Pay Phones Take the Real Hits The device provides internet access and e-mail service at a cost of $1 for four minutes. It also doubles as a traditional pay phone. The unit includes a screen, keyboard, and camera designed to be resistant to weather and vandalism. The camera allows people to take pictures of themselves and send them via e-mail. As a telephone, the unit allows users to call anywhere in the world for $.25 cents a minute. The phone is scheduled to be installed Sunday on the corner of Fifth Avenue and West 46th Street. Its owner, pay phone company TCC Teleplex, said after a 30-day trial period it would install more of the phones in other locations. (Copyright 2002 by The Associated Press. All Rights Reserved.) Last
