Phone Booths... Without Phones

It's not easy finding a quiet place to make a phone call these days.
You never see phone booths anymore. What a shame. I loved them as a kid.
I realize most people have mobile phones these days, but I think phone booths would be very popular, even if they didn't have a phone inside, mainly because of their privacy.
Phone booths not only give the caller a quiet place to make a call, they also help other people from listening in.
Nobody likes standing next to somebody fighting with their spouse on the phone, or talking about their nagging hemorrhoids. I don't want to hear it, and I'm sure they don't everyone in the room to hear it either.
A phone booth would be perfect in fine restaurants, hotel lobbies and other public places. The booths would be free, of course, but they would attract customers like flies, which would more than pay for the cost of the booth itself.
Taken to the next level, an upgraded phone booth could have a small counter for laptop and tablet users, with WiFi and charging ports.
