Hi

Noticed in the discussion of the devices tag, mention of devices attached
to telephone booths, which got me thinking.

Here in Australia, Telstra provides public wifi access via it's Telstra Air
network (https://www.telstra.com.au/telstra-air), which is also linked to
the international Fon network (https://network.fon.com/).

A lot / most of Telstra's wifi spots are mounted on public telephone boxes
(the pink bit's shown on the above link :-)) - I don't know about Fon?

So, do we have a tag for public wifi / internet spots?

I can't see anything for one, but I guess it would come under amenity=*,
same as amenity=telephone for public phones?

If we don't, should we?

Thanks

Graeme
