Re: Monday, September 1, 2003
The zeal with which hotspot users scream for free bandwidth seems to just make the case why providers should charge in my book. Demand indicates that there is value for the service so why shouldn't users pay for it? The fact that some enterprises can increase traffic by offering it free is fine if that makes sense for them at the time but I don't see much difference from any other type of marketing give-away promotion. I know this has been hashed and re-hashed but reading some of these pleas for free wi-fi makes me want to re-read the constitution and see where I missed the article that talks about the inalienable right to free networking. Regarding your phone search Doc, be careful about some of these Panasonic models that don't have a mute key. If you ever use your speakerphone to listen to conferences, you will miss having a mute unless you enjoy letting other listeners hear your dog barking, your neighbor mowing the grass, etc.. I have a Panasonic in my home office and generally love it except for that fact. Daniel There are responses to this message:
