John, thanks for your positive comments... As far as I'm concerned. if you consider the 40,000-50,000 UNIQUE People PER DAY who look at the top TEN of GOOGLE... under "wireless internet"
they are NOT finding what they are looking for.... #1 = http://www.internet.com/sections/it.html #10= http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/2115271.stm Boingo shows up #3 BUT thats just 1 out of TEN listings that shows the consumer HOW TO GET INTERNET SERVICE... the rest are useless to someone on dialup wanting faster speed. So.. there's a HUGE OPPORTUNITY waiting for us.. We just need to pool are strengths.. and heck.. its important enough to me that i'm willing to make my fair share of compromises so that we all arrive together... happily :o) ________ RE REMOVE and EDIT.. we are still working on that now.. we're almost done.. :o) hang in there... bob ________ RE ATTEMPTED ADDITION OF POINTS JOHN, where is your wisp??? lemme see if i can manually add a few point for you and let you know what i did..
