Free Wi-Fi Coming To Japanese Vending Machines 81
cylonlover writes "Free Wi-Fi is on its way to some Japanese vending machines. Working much like a mobile hotspot at your local coffee shop, people located near the machines would be able to connect to the internet for 30 minutes at a time and surf the web. The service is available to anyone, to use with any smartphone, tablet, or computer and does not require the purchase of a drink from the machine."

Why would I need to have an expensive overcrowded spotty 3/4G coverage when there are hotspots every block?
