Why worry about me, I am just trying to show you some friendly reasons why 802.11 business cases don;t necessarily work well yet. I think that in the coming years, perhaps there will be a way to consolidate the industry into one big group that somehow provides access and makes money. right now the "give it away free" stuff seems to be flawed. Even NetZero is going to subscription services to make it work, no more free stuff. I wish, like you wish taht we had acces everywhere and that it was relatively free. I do not think this can happen any time soon, not even to drive more coffee sales at Starbucs without them driving up their costs to the point where the extra needed to support this thing costs more than the service and increase in customer base allows. Take care.
