ENGINEER: "How about when the store next door decides to use it for their store and they get all my customers when I do not?

EXACTLY!! Imagine you are in the Mall with your WLAN enabled PDA.. (Becuase you use WLAN interface while you are at home).. Like I do..

Hey honey, I need to check my mail real Quick, Victoria's Secret has net access.. Let's pop in so I can check my mail.. Out comes, Mr. and Mrs America with some a bag of Victoria's Secret stuff..

You can imagine the same advantage at a booth at a Convention or Trade Show.. Let's go over to XYZ company's booth.. They have Free Net Access!!

Business is competitive.. Like I said. If Starbucks can find a competitive advantage for doing it.. Almost any retailer can!!

And it all takes away from the potential of QCOM and Wireless Operators.. IMO.. Imagine when companies that paid Billions of Dollars for 3G spectrum, find out that Mom and Pops Dinner is offering similar/faster services inside their dinner FOR FREE!!
