The future is now, Wi-Fi vending machines
December 29th, 2011 by Joseph Ruthaford
So we all know how innovative Japan can be right? I mean they have pods for busy people to sleep in, clothes in vending machines, I mean come on how could they take on the go busy any further. Well I just found something that rivals that of the underwear vending machine, the wi-fi dispensing vending machine. A soft drink company by the name of Asahi Soft Drinks has put Wi-Fi signals on their machines within a 50m radius. From what I have read it will be free to access this without any restrictions. So you don’t even have to buy something from the machine to use the Wi-Fi which is pretty nice. The only limitations I have read is you get a connection for about 30 minutes but you can reconnect after the 30 minutes are up. These machines will be around Japan starting in 2012 with about 1,000 going around the regions of Japan. If this is successful, they plan to roll out 10,000 within a five year span.
