Of course, it's no longer a compelling reason to choose Delta if i already have HDR on my phone with an unlimited service plan.

You see.. The commodity value of DATA is right here.. Pyslent, just told you what his value point is.. if i already have HDR on my phone with an unlimited service plan. Uhhh!!! There is no valid business plan in that concept Pyslent.... The words unlimited, and Wireless Operators don't go together!! (Except for LEAP!!) Why would a wireless operator take part of his spectrum that is generating "CASH PER MINUTE" charges in the voice segment.. And, let client's use the same spectrum for "All you can eat Data, for one price?".. Does that make sense?

And getting back to the Airports... don't forget those hefty Transfer Fee the Airports add to the bottom of your ticket price.. (XF) Would you be more inclined to have a stop-over at DFW vs .STL. if DFW Airport offered FREE INTERNET ACCESS via WLAN???

And at $3 a transfer passenger.. It pays for it's self real fast.. And it further bastardizes the perceived
"commodity value" of Wireless Mobile Data for the other players!! Like VZ or PCS....

So what if you were in DFW and DFW offered FREE 802.11 access, or you could use your "Pay by the Minute" HDR connection via VZ?? You have modems for both? Which would you chose?

Have you ever seen the body expressions and the look on someone's face who is paying by the minute to be on the internet.. (like at a hotel business center).. They typically make alot of jestures with their hands like. Hurry Up!! Hurry Up!! This is costing me money here!!!
