      Despite the old stereotype of Japan being a futuristic nation that produces the technology of tomorrow, a lot of it’s institutions are still using very outdated technology.

    15K Australian public phone booths are now Freephones and some are free wi-fi hotspots. I don’t think I’ve used one since the late 1990s, though.
