I don't know if it's been there for awhile, but I just noticed that the Wi-Fi alliance (the folks behind the black-and-white Wi-Fi symbol) has a Provider program [http://www.wi-fizone.org/zoneSignup.asp], complete with:
1. Legal Agreement - [http://www.wi-fizone.org/documents/Wi-Fi_Zone_License_Agreement.pdf] 2. Network Deployment Requirements Document - [http://www.wi-fizone.org/zoneDeploy.asp?TID=7] 3. Customer Service Requirements - [http://www.wi-fizone.org/zoneCustomerSupport.asp?TID=7] 4. Brand Manual - [http://www.wi-fizone.org/documents/Wi-Fi_ZONE_MarkUsageAgreement.pdf] The main benefit as far as I can tell is permission to use the logo. I like the idea of some standardized customer service benchmarks... Rob __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
