He has a point ... and to top it off I think it's only a matter of time before we actually do see "resource points" vs. "access points" ... SSIDs of "Free Music", "Free Porn", "Free Movies", "Napster", etc are just right around the corner (probably already here). And what is to really stop anyone from doing this? It's not like you can even go to an ISP to cut someone off. To me this is the "disruptive" part of the technology, not so much the net access ... there will eventually be the net "that is connected to the net" and the "net away from the net" ... And how can the FCC/DOJ stop everything and regulate the stuff in the air when they can't find it to begin with? - Jon -- NYCwireless - http://www.nycwireless.net/ Un/Subscribe: http://lists.nycwireless.net/mailman/listinfo/nycwireless/ Archives: http://lists.nycwireless.net/pipermail/nycwireless/
