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 ;)

    Now, where have I seen this story before?

    Someone should do a review of which Slashdot editor posts the most repeat stories.

    Hmmmm - who said that? Oh yeah, it was a guy who calls himself Commander Taco. ;-)

    I always thought this was an idea that Starbucks should have deployed. I think that there is one on every block in San Francisco.
