In a documentary about a homeless encampment (in america) I viewed not long ago, the residents had spliced into a lamp post to provide power to their and their neighbours tents. It was truly a hacker inspired, move fast and break things approach.

This research seems to be inspired by the same content and appears to be an attempt to commercialise the same technology.

there are actually junctions (and sometimes complete with outlets) in many lampposts so city employees can use them to power their equipment
