"Ollie Smith, managing director of Pulse Smart Hubs, told the planning committee on Monday 22 September that there is a pilot scheme underway in Belfast. He also mentioned that there are more than 85 installations planned for next year, including in Newquay, Tiverton, Newton Abbot, Cullompton, Okehampton, and Bideford. He explained that the hubs are funded by advertising revenue, making them free for use for residents and taxpayers."
"He added: "Unlike outdated phone boxes or advertising panels, they provide core services such as free phone calls and free wi-fi, with innovations including interactive mapping, digital noticeboards, and a minimum of 5% display time to local stakeholders to use completely free of charge." The Truro-based hubs will be installed on Old Bridge Street, City Road, Newquay Road, Pydar Street, Lemon Quay, Station Road and Treyew Road."
