Rob: ok you win; IPR, licensing and patents suck. But I read your post and still I can't find any mention of a WHY-FI company thats profitable today, two years ago and the prospects for future profit growth are double digits, spends 25%+ of sales on R&D annually, has 2x annual sales in cash. Who are these mighty WHY-FI GUYS. Oh right its my neighbors teen kid pedaling through the neighborhood with a hotsheet on WHY-FI spots. Or the local retailer with overpriced real estate just itching to negatively monetize the unused space by offering free WHY-FI. Or the military vendors with a customer of impeccable efficiency in decision-making. You keep citing the death of telecom. funny my cell phone still works fine, my dsl is good to go, and my wireline is trusty, when I go to a hotel the dialup works (p.s. funny I don't see the WHY-FI ISP's offering their shit for free). You remind me of the Netscape bozos that conned everyone in to thinking that free had value. You also sound like the enlightened travelers who spend a little while overseas and think the U.S. wireless industry is in the dark ages. Is our telecom industry in great shape, no. We went from monopoly to Darwin style biz model in a nano second. Capitalism works. And free is not a value driver. Or did your outcome based educator fail to tell you.
