On the contrary, not only do I think it may work, I know this is being planned.
Imagine:
You go into a store, let's say Kinko's. In return for filling up your wireless phone/pda (a WID) with their catalog and special offers they allow you to use their phone lines for free local voice or data calls.
All via bluetooth.
Think about it. It costs nothing (apart from BT gateways) for a store to offer this service. The more densely populated the area, the more likely you will be in range.
