At what point..... 

In BT deposits Wi-Fi in cashpoints

does this become commercial use of the public spectrum and require the purchase of a licence by BT. They are effectively building for free what the mobile providers shelled out £22 billion for the privelage of deploying.

Oh wait...this is BT what am I thinking, they don't break the law, they are one unto themselves.

Maybe the cash machine will be linked into Phorm so that they provide really useful and worthwhile targetted adverts about what you should spend your cash on. I bet PHORM are in talks with the Cash Register owners to report back what you spent the money on too so that they can provide a better class of advert next time.

(Oh come on, it wouldn't be a BT story without a PHORM angle)

Yeah, yeah, the one with bitter and twisted on the back please.
