What if there was then a tie in with various ISPs? eg. Order your broadband from us, and the initial connection charge includes a pre-configured WiFi combo box (modem/AP/Firewall).Interestingly, Boingo's CEO announced at the 802.11 Planet conference on Wednesday that they were working with various consumer and enterprise access point makers to offer a Boingo Ready brand, so you'd buy, say, a commodity Linksys unit and it would have the ability to be easily turned into a Boingo node. We'll see how that all pans out, but it's an interesting idea.
I actually think this is the only way that Cometa will get their 20-50,000 hotspots. A few thousand of them will be big ticket, high QOS, professional installations. The rest will be self-installed on a franchise model. At least that's how I'd do it if I were them.
