The Assassination of Wi-Fi

Posted by Zonk on from the sniper-has-range-on-the-target dept.

justelite writes "John C. Dvorak from PC Magazine has up an article looking at the new strategy of American cell-phone-service companies. From article: 'There is mounting evidence that the cellular service companies are going to do whatever they can to kill Wi-Fi. After all, it is a huge long-term threat to them. We've seen that the route to success in America today is via public gullibility and general ignorance. And these cell-phone-service companies are no dummies.'"

  1. American gullibility... by flyingfsck · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    Well, since research showed that 92% of Americans are religious, that confirms the gullibility part of the article, but Cellcos are not against Wifi. WiFi is a short range, spotty coverage service - Cellcos provide full coverage long range service. WiFi is no threat to them.
