I'm certain we can do better than the above, strikes me that the=20
commercial aspect puts a spanner in the works instead of improving the=20=
experience, I think the franchisers are stealing the efforts of the=20
franchisees. Note that it mentions Joltage is winding up, this follows=20=
a great deal of literature on commercial wireless start-ups failing=20
while community free efforts flourish.
I think I can compare this situation to the Internet versus MSN at its=20=
inception (or AOL.) Internet, free, anarchic =3D community wireless; =
MSN,=20
gated, pay to get on =3D wireless AP start-ups.

economy, I think the basic resource needs to be anarchic - freedom.
