One of the weirdest things I've come across in many a year... "New York-based advertising agency BBH Labs introduced a trial run of its new project, called "Homeless Hotspots," at the tech startup conference in Austin, which started Friday. While potentially practical, the pilot program isn't exactly getting rave reviews from everyone. Wired magazine reports that the homeless individuals hawking the service were recruited from a local shelter and are walking around carrying MiFi devices (techspeak for mobile WiFi hotpots)" (Slate, March 12, 2012).
