 | | Lots of spots in SoCal In LA - they have a LOT of Wifi - probably more coverage than most ever would use, and keeps many from requiring a cell plan on a tablet. | |

With a good connection, 15/1 is common. | |

 | | Meh So far I have not been that impressed with the ones in KC. They connect about 1/3 of the time and when they do the speeds are only good enough to lightly browse on a tablet. | |

Building a mesh network to bypass their lame hybrid coax fiber network.  | |

| Re: who cares? probably more likely to push a deal to many 'urban dwellers' (NYC) where they wouldn't want to pay the extra $20-$30/month for limited data over cellular.
Maybe their long term is to partner with a cellular provider (aren't they hitching up with VZW?). It'd give AT&T a run for their money, and reduce the cost of overages, and give them some clickstream cash. | |

We've on our third upgrade of the cable plant in a decade. | |
