I don't know if the scope is broad enough to make it profitable across the entire country. I would use it if urban parking were a problem for me. However, alot of it depends on the reliabilty of 'SPOT' data. If we're relying on semi-literate parking attendants to actually keep accurate records of the spots???? Not to mention - if you can bid online - you might be able to pass the lot attendant a $20 or $50 if you REALLY needed that spot. Thus - it could merely succeed in creating a black market for parking spots....the apocalypse is upon us. Seems like an alright idea in dense urban areas.

The people who need long term parking places (month-by-month) generally already have their spaces scouted out and reserved in special lots. The spontaneous parking is generally what people have the most problem with. I don't believe enough people know how to use the WAP browser enough on their phones and mobile devices to make this really useful on the streets, unless perhaps they find a way to integrate it with the ever growing-in-popularity Navigation systems in cars..
