Only 3 work. Seems to me anyone legit would have put a little more work into getting those markets up and running before going public with this. Maybe those are their employees - I dunno.

Anyone else notice the list of countries you can search for AP in? Pretty ambitious! Not only do they have Afghanistan listed, but Antarctica! LOL! This was good for a laugh. Seems similar to what boingo is trying to accomplish, yet cheaper. I just don't think you can build a successful business model by providing a service which is managed haphazardly by thousands of non-employees. I mean ok, I subscribe to your service cuz you live next door and want me to subsidize your bandwidth. What happens when you move-out or your ISP shuts you off or your ISP has a problem, do I get credited?

Ok, so they're trying to cater to the mobile user who passes through an affiliated hot-spot. Great. Who's going to pay you $24.95 a month to have access to 5 hotspots in America? The only thing I wonder is if the execs they list on their website are real and know they are involved in this. Looks to me like an amateaur business plan done by a half-decent web designer. Gotta admit the site looks better than dslmonster. lol.

I think the key to making the cash flow positive is get your local civic government hooked on using it. In other words, get the police/fire/road works/tax assessors/etc on board using hand-held devices and/or laptops. I'd also let apartment dwellers near the WiFi access points know about the service.
I think Boingo might be the better deal but, I also don't think it is too complicated for an average broadband user to run on their own off of a small business broadband connection.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,2879312 Thu, 28 Mar 2002 15:39:14 EDT
