Once they put those things up there's basically no monthly cost. So if it reduces churn on their DSL, that's a good reason to keep it free. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,8033714 Mon, 22 Sep 2003 12:17:37 EDT Re: Cool http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,8030955 oliphant5 : They make them into fake palm trees out here (where there are many).

If Dial-up users can get Wi-Fi access free from Verizon, those that are living close to Wi-Fi hot spots will have rather cheap DSL level access (up to 3Mbps) rather cheap ;)


Like most airport and other hotspots, they probably have time limits.

I would expect it would require an account or perhaps a phone card much as it is with payphones today. Perhaps it will be like dialup where you just "dial in" to your provider. Or as cell phones are, set your stuff to roam. They could even provide some emergency services this way. Contact to emergency services?

Of course the service is only available where DSL service is available? This clearly eliminates a lot of coverage.

I understand there is a cost involved, but what I see on the horizon will be separate services (like land & cell), each with their somewhat hefty price.

If you could get a wifi phone (size of cell) that would be sweet! Not to mention no more radiation being beamed into your brain... Also say you had bell service and a wifi phone they should offer free local calls or whatever as if you were using your home land line.(You guys are thinking about iNET and using laptops to d/l stuff which would be vary expensive) Think about all the other cool uses it could have.

You digital cell example is a good one. You certainly can't argue the popularity of mobile phones, despite their lack of 100% nationwide coverage.
