er, it's been a long day at work and am just catching up on my reading. and i'm a little tired so maybe i'm ot here. at the risk of sounding like making money is an ok thing, why not create a bunch of local "radio" staions in every town. instead of delivering the internet via yer spanking new airport express, why not sell local adverts? provide the hosting for the each local wifi connection centrally (hosted on the internet, turn key), and use the same scheme as any of the subscription services use to encourage those who discover their networks from hotelrooms or parks or driving thru to deliver the adverts. make it turn key for the local entrep. anyone remember a classifieds scheme in the usa called penny something, where every locality had a franchise selling lines to local business vendors and garage sellers? maybe it still exists. maybe they should do this scheme. buy an airexpress and if you are delivering in the deadzone you have a captive audience. and wifi channel surfers will find you as signals wobble, simply discovering your beautiful signal. and everyone in the know can chec you out on the internet befire hitting town, or "see" your localxxx-r-us.com while passing thru, maybe finding a cheap hotel or a cheap... ok, i'm tired, maybe this is a dumb idea or maybe i just don't frequent the right neighbourhoods with my laptop.
