Poo-Fi - A New Kind of Free Wi-Fi / Get Free Wi-Fi

The Mexican Internet site Terra is currently running a free Wi-Fi hotspot promotion in Mexico City. This hardly sounds like interesting news, but it's the unique way these hotspots work that has gotten people's interest. Terra has installed their metered hotspots in public park areas, attached to waste bins that weigh the amount of incoming... trash and add a corresponding number of free minutes onto the hotspot's clock. The system isn't smart enough to know what kind of waste it is weighing, but Terra's concept is to market it toward dog owners who should be cleaning up the droppings of their pets. Will Poo Wi-Fi be coming to your town? Unlikely.
