Walmart and free net access: Steve, I see you mentioned Walmart vis a vis free net access. This has always seemed an obvious solution to me: walmart gives away a webtv style box with free net access to their proprietary portal which is designed to implement easy online ordering. Although net purists may raise a hue and cry over its default home page and I would expect limited surfing options (kidsafe etc), it makes too much sense. The obvious customer are the many people for whom PC's will never be easy enough to operate. Have you heard of any retailers including Walmart as well as others who may take the leap?
