BIT engineer's report from Bristol uphone installation +44 117 9558596

The UPHONE, currently in public testing in Bristol UK, New York NY, is a phone-in interface to the web. Designed for immediate collaborative sound archiving & computerless web publishing. 1. U phone in from any phone. 2. Leave an audio message. 3. Message uploads automatically to a public soundfile location on the web.

A sustainable reporting system for mobile and on-the-run communities, uphone disconnects the user from workstation or media-lab dependency. I'M OUT OF THE OFFICE ! I'M AWAY FROM MY DESK ! Converts your mobile or phonebooth to a full-functioning satellite phone; decapitates editoral models of professional newsbureaux [bbc, npr, etc] for a more equitable, distributable and ubiquitous reporting. technical specifications
