<<Engineer..Why would an HDR cell be necessary to connect to the internet via
BlueTooth in an airport? Couldn't some sort of BlueT "eye" be part of a hard wired
phone booth, always waiting, so that when you pass by your laptop announces it's
presence much the way a cellphone tells the network where it is and presto, all
email is automatically downloaded?>>

Speed...The phone booth does 56k max if that. The HDR can do up to 2.4 MBPS. Flexibility to buildout....Put it anywhere you have power wihtout having to run wires or concern yourself about moving it when a remodel is done.

YOu could service it in many ways, though as you say.
