Their head adviser is "oxford". When he falls asleep clutching his
iphone masturbatory toy he sees WiFi everywhere as he has claimed
numerous times.

Thanks for confirming that you don't live in the real world.

I'm posting this as my wife drives our motorhome on I-90 at 65 MPH. Try
that with your "wifi is everywhere"...

You really need to look up the meaning of "everywhere". Just because
your parents have WiFi and it is usable in their basement where you live
and you also have it at the fast food joint where you work doesn't mean
it is "everywhere".

Hey Oxy - just WHERE is this magical place you refer to?
You go on and on about "facts' - here's you opportunity to actually present one.


So..... WHERE? Put up or shut up.

I'm not taking sides here, please believe me about that. But I
must say that here in NYC, wifi is, if not everywhere, really easy to
find. If I need to use my notebook someplace and can't pick up a
usable signal, I usually need only walk down the block.

That's just a bit of random good news for NY'ers. OTOH, when I
travel to Japan the situation is just the opposite. Although it's the
second most wired country on earth, wifi is extremely hard to find. If
anyone's planning a trip there, plan to visit McDonalds a lot. Not
every store has it, but many do, even in remote places.

I would imagine that Apple/Softbank will make retail deals to
provide iPhone users with free wifi as they apparently are doing or
have done here with Starbucks. How partner arrangements will work for
travelers on AT&T here I can't imagine.

And how well does the elegant handoff work when you keep walking,
running, or driving on by?

Alas, free Wi-Fi is shrinking too. They just shut down the Metro-Fi
system in my area last week. Metro-Fi could be a case study in bad
marketing and unrealistic expectations.

If you know where to go, you can still find free Wi-Fi networks at many
restaurants and public areas, but the dream of ubiquitous free Wi-Fi is
dead for now.

I'm not familiar with Metro-Fi. Was it an ad based service?

Other than at campgrounds that offer it for free, I rarely use WiFi
except from my own secured routers, but I have heard some rumblings
among the RV set about there being fewer locations available to us. I
don't know if that's because of locations shutting down, or because
they're going to paid subscription models though.

Yes, I thought that was the topic, sorry. We do not have
citywide wifi, that is true. And from what I've read it'll be a long
time coming.
