Re: [ALL] SHAW quarterly results are in

Wifi hotspots, of course.

Are those actually revenue generating?

I don't think so. There are so many other free wifi hotspots out there that I can't see it being a deciding factor when someone chooses which ISP to use.

It seemed like a giant waste of money to me. It would be awesome if I could pick up a signal at work, but more times than not, I wait until I get home and use my home connection to download updates or watch videos. I rarely come close to my phones monthly data cap, so I don't really need to use wifi.

I'm still not sure why Shaw spent all that money on the build out. Like you said, I doubt it generates any extra revenue.
