The idea behind the V-Pole -- a concept utility pole and art project from the brain of Vancouver-based writer Douglas Coupland -- is basically: make it transparent, design it well and it put it all in one place. Earlier this month Coupland and the Mayor of Vancouver Gregor Robertson, showed off mockups of the V-Pole (V for Vancouver), which contains multi-colored units of wireless connectivity stacked on a utility pole that's connected to optical underground wiring, and paired with electric car charging outlets and an LED street light.
Interesting concept, the coloured bands are a little ugly though.

It is interesting but as the above comment mentioned it is a little tacky looking nes pas?
