New place to tap the Net: Gas stations

BP Amoco is expected to announce an
agreement with Tokheim to turn its gasoline
pumps into Internet-connected kiosks that would provide weather
forecasts, traffic updates, and advertising, according to reports.
Tokheim manufactures and services electronic and mechanical petrol pumps.
The new pumps would include
Internet browsers and Microsoft's Windows CE operating
system, the Wall Street Journal reported, citing Gray Taylor, Tokheim's
director of strategic programs.
Revenue the pumps generate from advertising is secondary
to cost savings for BP in managing its equipment, as the pumps
could, for example, email corporate headquarters when they need
servicing, the Wall Street Journal reported.
The giant European oil company said last
Tuesday that profit rose 19 percent in the second quarter after oil
prices surged and cost cuts from the $62 billion purchase of
Amoco began to materialize.
