and it will be all Mc Donalds and Starbucks]]>Apr 25th 2008 2:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/25/atandt-and-starbucks-begin-wifi-rollout/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/25/atandt-and-starbucks-begin-wifi-rollout/
WiFi is dead outside the home (for now), and all these people who keep demanding WiFi on their mobile phones should realise that what makes a mobile phone so useful is that it works anywhere. Well, if mobile broadband is to become truly MOBILE, then HSDPA (3.5G) is the way forward. The only reason Starbucks and AT&T are rolling out WiFi is to lock people into the iPhone's garden wall and have them buy the odd tune they hear while supping a Latté. And it is this total lack of openess that is the issue here. People are not stupid - anymore. My EEE PC + Vodafone HSDPA USB stick works anywhere here in the UK - and the speed is good enough to watch YouTube videos too. Join or die - POTS telcos - and Apple. Else it will be Android powered open source 3.5/4G phones that will rule the day. (No bad thing of course!)]]>Apr 25th 2008 1:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/25/atandt-and-starbucks-begin-wifi-rollout/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/25/atandt-and-starbucks-begin-wifi-rollout/
That's it. It's not some holy war. When HSDPA and home costs the same as what I pay now, I'll buy it. ]]>Apr 25th 2008 1:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/25/atandt-and-starbucks-begin-wifi-rollout/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/25/atandt-and-starbucks-begin-wifi-rollout/Apr 25th 2008 2:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/25/atandt-and-starbucks-begin-wifi-rollout/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/25/atandt-and-starbucks-begin-wifi-rollout/Apr 25th 2008 5:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/25/atandt-and-starbucks-begin-wifi-rollout/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/25/atandt-and-starbucks-begin-wifi-rollout/
Why do I demand WiFi on my phone? Simple, when I'm traveling abroad in recent places like Beijing and Buenos Aires... I can jump on any WiFi network and conduct personal/business dealings (e-mail, internet) for free. Duh.]]>Apr 25th 2008 11:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/25/atandt-and-starbucks-begin-wifi-rollout/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/25/atandt-and-starbucks-begin-wifi-rollout/Apr 26th 2008 7:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/25/atandt-and-starbucks-begin-wifi-rollout/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/25/atandt-and-starbucks-begin-wifi-rollout/Apr 25th 2008 1:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/25/atandt-and-starbucks-begin-wifi-rollout/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/25/atandt-and-starbucks-begin-wifi-rollout/Apr 25th 2008 1:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/25/atandt-and-starbucks-begin-wifi-rollout/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/25/atandt-and-starbucks-begin-wifi-rollout/They will however get access to special sections of hell.
Also, all of your worldly goods will be made to fit in a manilla envelope.
But at least you will be charged extra, so it's not all bad.

The changeover was quicker than I expected, especially for Southern California. It worked great. I have DSL through AT&T so getting access was not an issue.]]>May 20th 2008 12:42AM
