Besides the cost of having 802.11 in every handheld user device. If u need interaction a central webserver does the job far better. Access that using gprs or cdma cell phone.
Since cost is going to be an issue and someone or sometwos raised this issue, I did some loud thinking too.
How about letting these railings generate revenue? Is it feasible? So you have Ads being transmitted for the benefit of the visually impaired or whichever group is using this system.
Dont flame me yet for bringing an evil commercial aspect into the whole thing, but it seems like something to atleast consider before we bury it. Basically lets not look at this as a cost center but innovative ways to generate revenue from this.
Cross subsidizing can be another way. Where added features are also provided that the superset population can also use and in return they cross subsidize the social aspect of the project.
