To be honest if the *last* .50 hike could have included WiFi *inside* of the tube and on the trains themselves I would have say "hey .. Here's an extra $1 for the ride" .. The lampposts don't really help much of us on our commutes .. I still don't think they get it. They need to fork over $ and get Yury + the rest of us to design a MagicTrain. :-)

Jon, The MTA is proposing a fare hike on unlimited ride cards, taxes always seem to rise, and this proposal is a commercial effort by companies seeking to extend their own coverage area, and probably provide for pay wi-fi service. Other municipalities deemed it worthy to invest in a free wireless infrastructure in an effort to encourage and attract businesses. What never ceases to amaze me is the seemingly persistent effort by businesses looking to make a buck off of wi-fi services. -- NYCwireless - http://www.nycwireless.net/ Un/Subscribe: http://lists.nycwireless.net/mailman/listinfo/nycwireless/ Archives: http://lists.nycwireless.net/pipermail/nycwireless/
