First National 802.11b ISP

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the they'll-never-make-it-to-me dept.

JScarpace writes "The chairman and founder of Earthlink, Sky Dayton, will introduce his newest company today, a wireless ISP called "Boingo" which will resell 802.11b access being provided by smaller ISPs around the country. Sky hopes to build up Boingo the same way he built up Earthlink -- by buying or partnering with enough smaller providers to offer a national service." An overdue idea and a stupid company name. Course it'll never get to me... the downside of living in the sticks. Those of you in real cities may be one step closer to the dream. update yup, another duplicate. Pre coffee story posting should be forbidden. Ah well, maybe the flamers will get it out of their system early ;)

    Their theme-song should be "Dead Man's Party" from Oingo Boingo (popular 80's band similar to Simple Minds and Men at Work). It goes like this:

    It's a dead man's party,
    Who could ask for more?
    Everybody's coming,
    Leave your body at the door.
    (Leave your body and soul at the door).

    Great time to start this. Not only won't they be able to sell the company or IPO it, no one has money to buy the service.

    [Can't find the album? rent that 80s movie where Rodney Dangerfield goes back to college - Oingo Boingo is the band he has at the big bash he throws. . . and they sing the song]

    Good luck Boingo, you're gonna need it.
