Aside from being a marketing fad, what does this offer for free internet do? First of all, it begs the re-use of the cliche, "There is no free lunch". Free, would imply free.
Not free, if you look at all these ads for internet-savvy hookers down the street.
It doesn't matter. Do what you want.
Why tout this as a tool to aid the poor? How many homeless, or almost homeless people can afford wireless laptops?
Now if only Dell would come up with free, wireless laptops that plays songs in praise of Dell...oh and by the way if they patented that method.
Really, sometimes, it makes one think that everything worth patenting was patented long ago!
