"MobileStar will offer Starbucks customers two types of subscriptions that are good wherever they access the MobileStar network: monthly plans that start at $15.95 for 200 minutes per month or a pay-as-you-go plan that costs 20 cents per minute." Helloooo! Metered service does not work anymore than subscription websites don't work. Otherwise I think it's a great idea.

Hi Kenneth, So let's see if I got this right. You go into Starbucks for your Soy Chai Latte with Chamomille and Fructose and you set up a 'Net seesion for an hour. You've just bought the iPAQ and the wireless NIC card which set you back about $700. So, you're now about $716 in the red. You surf over to the gambler's den at Ameritrade and place a couple of bets, which tank 20% in minutes, because you couldn't access independent news analysis on that itty bitty screen, within the walled garden. Now you tally up the bill and realize that you've just had your most expensive hour's view of the future ever. You hadn't previously thought of it as the evil empire..... "Friends don't let friends drink Starbucks". -Anon. -Ray
