Q.
How does a new phone booth fit in an already saturated market?
How do we bring new value to clients?
Rather than attempt ng to d scourage this by making booths as cramped as possible, we’ve instead developed a concept that, while it encourages quick calls, also offers more space and functionality for those needing to spend onger, more focused time inside
