Free Nationwide Wireless Internet Access?

LiquidEdge writes "ISP-Planet is reporting that startup M2Z wants to offer 95% of America free wireless Internet access using the 20Mhz frequency allocation. They're backed by Kleiner Perkins, one of the most successful VC firms in history, and being started by the guy who built the @Home network and a former FCC Wireless Bureau Chief. 384/128 speeds will be free and they'll sell the higher speeds and the government will get a kickback of the revenue."

    Enough already with the state-sponsored wireless internet access. The government has shown quite well enough what they'll do if you give them access to privately operated networks. There's no crippling gap in wireless network access in this country. Please, focus on something else and keep your goddamn data mining machines out of my papers and effects.
