(and my apologies if this is something discussed and dismissed: I'm new to this NL and this problem domain); but it seems to me that roaming agreements between the various hotzone (*) providers would do a lot to make life easier - after all, I already pay $50.00/month for wired access; and the point of being mobile is that I mindlessly drift from place to place. I don't mind anchoring myself at the Peet's on Polk (+) for my 10am mail sync, but in the P.M -- who knows where I'll be; and $30/month for what amounts to only 1/3 time access is no good. But, if I paid $40/month and I knew that $10 permitted me to roam, then suddenly the virtue of WiFi reflects that of cellphones (=) -- connectivity without regard to location, and that's what I really want Briquebats and bockets to [EMAIL PROTECTED] (*) A much sexier, if less prurient sounding term than "hotspot" (+) I wish. (=) no, not crappy service but location independence. Location independence is not the same as mobility, IMNSHBPFO. -- general wireless list, a bawug thing <http://www.bawug.org/> [un]subscribe: http://lists.bawug.org/mailman/listinfo/wireless -- general wireless list, a bawug thing <http://www.bawug.org/> [un]subscribe: http://lists.bawug.org/mailman/listinfo/wireless
