Mee2Pee Networks

I’m loving this idea -Â in order to reduce vandalism of public restrooms, Finland’s road management agency has implemented a system whereby users have to text OPEN to a number printed on the door of the bathroom in order to unlock it.
Your number is recorded in case you decide to <ahem> decorate the facility.
Of course, this is a great example of mobile messaging as an interface to the real world - quite literally transforming bits into atoms…I’m just hoping the restrooms aren’t Twittering their operations.
I wonder if commercial operators of restrooms will follow suit with Pay-Per-Pee, or P-Commerce model? It’s entirely fair to bill a single text message to go number 1 and double for number 2…weight or volume just wouldn’t be equitable…!
