Blackboard to Resell e-Suds Internet Laundry to Higher Ed
Blackboard Inc. said it has become a reseller of the e-Suds online laundry service. e-Suds’ parent, USA Technologies, said Blackboard will start to offer e-Suds to customers that use the Blackboard Transaction System. e-Suds is an Internet connected laundry system that lets students monitor the availability and status of washing machines and dryers via the Internet.
Users will swipe their Blackboard transaction card to activate the laundry system, and will be notified by e-mail on their PC, or receive a cellular phone text message when the laundry is done. The cost of the service will be automatically deducted online from a student's Blackboard account.

This is an amazing services, the only problem as far as I can tell - is that it notifies everyone at once when a machine is free. It makes more sense to me to begin a queue so that it stream-lines the wait process.
Think the cell phone company's are giving a kickback to Blackboard/eSuds for the TXTing that takes place?
