Incidentally, we actually did this about a year ago for an act of positive civil disobedience:<br><br><a href="http://oneletterwonder.com/2010/04/19/the_video_from_call_the_mayor/">http://oneletterwonder.com/2010/04/19/the_video_from_call_the_mayor/</a><br>

I'm all for a phone booth with a closing door to take private phone<br>
calls in peace. Google has one in their lobby in Mountain View (we saw<br>
it on our fieldtrip there the other day), complete with a "Google Voice"<br>
label on it. Theirs is red, though, so technically it can't be a tardis<br>
(which, by definition, must be blue). It looks exactly like this:<br>

<br>
If we got the booth itself, we already have payphones, and could wire it<br>
with video chat and free voice-over-ip.<br>
<br>
Hmm...<br>
