Do you guys think it’s safe to leave my phone or laptop at one of these to charge?

The full network will install more than 7,500 public hubs throughout the city, each replacing a pre-existing phone booth. Once completed, the hubs will also include USB device charging ports, touchscreen web browsing, and two 55-inch advertising displays. The city estimates that ads served by the new hubs will generate more than $500 million in revenue over the next 12 years.
 
Yeah, but they will only let you use 10% of the bandwidth because too much Porn is bad for you.

Oh, wait. Bloomberg is gone...
 
So, the access points are 'gigabit' (which in wireless marketing means a theoretical 450mbps on 2.4GHz + 867mbps on 5GHz) or the backhaul is gigabit?

This was my first question too. I presume they mean the wireless is gigabit and they want to throw around buzzwords.
