***FROM BBC NEWS*** An "experiment" which involved using homeless people as mobile wi-fi hotspots has attracted criticism, forcing the advertising agency behind it to defend itself. A division of Bartle Bogle Hegarty (BBH) equipped 13 homeless people with 4G mifi devices in Austin, Texas. please log in to view this image It suggested the public pay $2 (£1.30) for 15 minutes' access to the net. Comments posted to the BBH's site accused the project of being "unseemly" and "wrong". Members of Twitter asked "what has this world come to?" and accused the project of being a "gimmick". However, others praised the idea as being "inspirational" and a chance to create a "positive interaction between the public" and homeless people. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-17345926 ****** All of the irish on here might finally get jobs if they implement this in Europe.
Surely you just wait until they're drunk and then sit next to them on a park bench and get access for nowt?
They will have thought about all of that already, the hobos probably have a 'standby-mode' if they fall asleep There's a bit in the article that made me laugh
