They've stood on the streets of London for nearly a century (This one is from the 1920s). But realistically, they probably don't have a long future ahead of them, now that most people have mobile phones that do the Internet and video conferencing, let alone phone calls.
They could be converted into Internet kiosks, but it remains to be seen if smartphones will put an end to that idea. And besides, these big iron boxes probably aren't what the companies wanting to install Internet kiosks want to use.
So like the equally iconic London Routmaster buses, one day they'll probably all but disappear, especially outside of central London.
