Re: Cool

It definitely gives Verizon a competitive advantage. 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.

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.

That gives Verizon at least SOME competitive edge against the Cable guys...
They needed something.
