Re: Hosting a WiFi hotspot?

Is it optional to buy it? I went out and bought a $15 802.11b gateway just for the hotspot when I set mine up a few years ago.

One way to do it "cost free" to those deploying it is to give it to them, then let them work it off via the usage payment - basically they'd get no benefit (but also have no cost) until they broke even on the kickback for usage (however that's payed out...)

I guess if I had a reasonable expectation to break even in a year or less I'd still be willing to fork out the $$ for it myself... but it sound like we have to use the one you're providing either way?

Ya, that's a good idea. Basically, the units cost us $49, so we were thinking of offering them at a subsidized price point, perhaps somewhere between $25 and $39. For customers in key (downtown) locations, perhaps we'd go even deeper than this, if we think they'll get some significant use.

It's an interesting idea to offset the cost with the credit, but it might be a bit of a task to keep track.
