City taxi cabs will soon be used to try to lower the number of dropped cell phone calls.
The New York Post says the Taxi and Limousine Commission has agreed to let telecommunications company Ericsson put sensors in the trunks of about 75 cabs.
The sensors are meant to locate cell service dead spots throughout the five boroughs, providing feedback every ten minutes.
The paper says Ericsson is doing the research for an unnamed cell phone carrier that will pay an undisclosed amount of money to the taxi fleet that takes part in the program.
