AT&T Unveils “Street Charge”, Will Place Solar Powered Charging Stations Throughout NYC

Calling all New Yorkers! AT&T has just announced a new pilot program that will launch in New York City called Street Charge. AT&T plans to place solar-powered smartphone charging stations throughout the city. These stations will be placed in parks and other highly populated areas for any AT&T user in need of some battery juice. Ma Bell hopes to put forth a renewable solution to a common problem that hits smartphone users all too frequently. You can see the concept in action in the video below.

What do you think about this idea? Do you think this is innovative on AT&T’s part? Just remember to stay safe and alert if you do end up using one of these charging stations. We can only imagine a group of people huddled around a pole with their expensive smartphones could end up being a prime place to get mugged.
