  It probably starts free. You create a market and then start selling it as rental equipment, or you market to cities. They are making money.

    Jump start is Canadian tire’s charity for childrens sports. They are funded by donations at the till. Its a typical corporate tax dodge but it does infact go to kids sports.

      I bet you could buy a shirt load of random sports ball for the cost of those cabinets, app, cloud infra, and employees to run it all.

      They should just put metal baskets out with balls and refill them a few times a year. It would be cheaper

        I mean, they do. Look into the programs, this is probably the smallest program they do.

    You pay with your data means it was never free, you were the product

      Right. But it never stops at free data.
