Just like New York City,

Comment by dburke on March 19, 2013 to The Homeless Shift Project

Just like New York City, Austin has its homeless folks who roam around  the corner. And to be able to wipe them off away, for SXSW 2012, BBH Labs, the experimental division of marketing company Bartle Bogle Hegarty, announced a charitable experiment, called “Homeless Hotspots.” The idea was to employ 13 homeless people, sourced from an Austin shelter, the Front Steps Shelter, and equip them with a 4G MiFi, or mobile Wi-Fi device, according to Wired. They’d walk around and people could pay to use the Wi-Fi. They were paid $20 upfront and $50 per day for four days, according to Forbes. According to the Daily Mail, they kept the proceeds from sales.A lot of people were ticked about it, too.
