If this is true it's a pretty cool idea, at first glance. The more you think about it though, the creepier it becomes. What sort of repugnant filth would end up on something like that? As much as it would be interesting to see what would be on it (and could be used to devastating effect in some sort of scavenger hunt around the city - if they were everywhere of course) you know someone would fuck this up pretty quickly. Would you normally plug into something that you just met in the street without so much as an introduction? I don't think that sort of behaviour has been a good idea since the 80s.

One of the comments refers to it as a 'glory hole for laptops'.

Disgustingly accurate description.
