Is that not a project that resembles a nation wide 'pub crawl'? :)

OMG that ticks every single box - beer, cool hardware, Linux and the
internet. What's not to like?

.....ummm..... Weatherspoon's? Other than that, great idea.

On a related note, I don't know why more eating/drinking venues don't
offer WiFi. It's a great gimmick, and, lets face it, how many of us
(well, *us* may not be representative - lets say, the population in
general) would really use it? Are people really going to sit in a pub
watching YouTube videos during lunch breaks? or on a Friday night out?

I think it's one of those ideas that's good in theory, encourages the
punters, but when they get in there they realise that it's damned
anti-social and they'll not actually use it.
