Big hole in the wall (dot)goodidea
There have been many successful examples of current infrastructure being used to successfully deliver new services in a successful way, successfully. I can not stress the scope for success here. The national grid and railways deliver communications services, Amazon offer cloud hosting services on there infrastructure, and the Gas, Electric, & telephone companies did okay at delivering everyone else's products as well.
One resource we have forgotten about that can deliver another service is the good old humble hole in the wall cash machine. The are all connected, there is a delivery network in place that fills them up, they all accept cards, and there is a computer controlling them all that can be easily reprogrammed.
This is why today's good idea is to alter the cash machine network to deliver both money, and contraception products, and pasties. Some machines can already be used to top up you phone and manage your bank accounts so is it is not a total leap of faith the think that they can deliver these important products. Products that might be required at any time of the day at short notice for a premium.
The revenue stream is that we make the pasty and condom dispenser module for the cash machines that fits just under the cash dispenser bit. These can be sold to the machine owners for a flt fee, or as a use based service.
There is a danger that the machines in toilets may pick up on the idea and start distancing cash and pasties, or the Greggs will start rolling out a pasty machine network, but other than that I can not see how this could fail. Are you in? It's a winner.
