What Wi-Fi's Popularity Means for Cell Phone Carriers - Businessweek - 2 views
-
The wireless carrier business model is based on expensive cellular data. If Wifi reaches near ubiquity why won't we all just switch to cheaper Wifi options? BTW 62% of all video on smartphones is done on Wifi today.

I'm not sure about cheaper, as opposed to reasoning of use. WiFi is incredibly ubiquitous in Europe, I would say in part because of the proximity of so many different countries. Imagine if your phone got exponentially more expensive to use between Georgia and Alabama (or if it just stopped working all together). I don't know how well this will play in the US beyond a physical space like the Stadium that's mentioned.
PEPSI Vending Machine Accepts Likes Instead of Cash - 1 views
-
Using a smartphone, enter likepepsi.com, then connect with your Facebook account, like the Pepsi Facebook page and get a free Pepsi. The vending machine also uses the phone's location settings to make sure that only those in the vicinity receive a free sample for their 'like'. Those without smartphones use the 42" built-in touchscreen to log into Facebook to receive a free drink. Once the sample was given, a timer ensured everyone was logged out of their accounts. This new method of sampling provides real-time feedback on who has liked, tasted and enjoyed the beverage.
