Telenav and AT&T Want To Clean Up The Big Apple

at-t-logo2
AT&T apparently has a heart for New York City, and will be working with TeleNav to help clean it up. The leaders of New York City have launched a program called the Street Conditions Observation Unit (S.C.O.Ut.) made up of members who will cruise the streets on a monthly basis to report on how they’re looking.

S.C.O.Ut. members will use the TeleNav Track solution installed on their Blackberry 8800 handsets from AT&T to report offenses so that the team knows where to go clean up at. This is pretty neat, but to take it a step further, why not equip the city’s streetcleaner vehicles (you know the ones, they usually come after the horses in big parades?) with GPS receivers so that they can get real time alerts from the S.C.O.Ut members?
