I believe they also provide free wifi. That is harder to quantify since you don't have to be directly adjacent to the kiosk to use it. I'm just countering the initial claim that one person never sees anyone using it. At least in my neighborhood, especially along my walk to work, I see people physically interacting with the devices very frequently.

Sure but this isn't really additive since New York City already has WIFI around all subway stations. See: https://transitwireless.com/ https://transitwireless.com/ https://www.theverge.com/2016/1/8/10737408/nyc-mta-subway-wifi-mobile-payment-cuomo https://www.theverge.com/2016/1/8/10737408/nyc-mta-subway-wi... And that Transit Wireless WIFI is not paid for with advertising blight. So really the net utility added for all of this advertising is is a USB charging station. You could always make 911 calls at the phone kiosks these replaced.
