Beer and Bluetooth

juxter writes "The BBC is reporting on a London bar which has installed a Bluetooth and WiFi access point. Owners of camera phones can wirelessly send their pictures to an overhead screen and web based gallery - The system runs the LocustWorld Linux based MeshAP which has been extended to drive bluetooth devices as well. Hopefully this will encourage more UK premises to deploy free hot spots."

Many bars are experimenting with it.

The Foundry Ale Works, a local brewpub, partnered with Telerama to provide wireless access. The access has been free for the last few months as a trial period, but next month they'll start charging. Telerama has wired up a lot of hotspots around Pittsburgh, including several cafes and restaurants.

The first time I used the Foundry's wireless access, I helped the cute bartender study for an exam. The next time I came by with co-workers, she bought us a round of beers. This wireless thing just might take off after all. :)
