Seattle Wireless TV Releases June 2004 Show
drewzhrodague writes "Seattle Wireless TV just released their June 2004 Show, containing a segment by (me) Drew from WiFiMaps, called 'Booze and Wi-Fi,' which is an interview with Doug Luce from Telarama (the world's third ISP). Doug talks about their successful ultra-low-cost hotspot setup, and shows us how they are being deployed. Also, Jason Levitt of Less Networks presents 'How Less Networks and Austin City Wireless Project beat T-Mobile,' a presentation on why every day should be a free Wi-Fi day, how a $100 press release with a good message is worth more than a million-dollar ad campaign, and about their AP/captive-portal setup. Check it out for Realplayer, Windows Media, or MPEG torrent."
What a breakthrough! And all these years I'd been thinking, "if someone could just come up with a way to deliver content that didn't require my TV to be tethered to a cable, they'd make millions!" Can you imagine the possibilites? One could take a small portable TV, plug it into a power connection, turn it on and start watching! Heck you could watch it in the middle of nowhere, and no longer depend on your local cable company for programming. Why didn't they think of this sooner?
