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.'"

    There are two kinds of readers in the world. Those who hate Dvorak's writings, and those who haven't read his writings, yet. He reminds of day-time TV show hosts.

    Does he make a point with his article? Not really. He writes nothing that hasn't already been known by anyone who makes it a point to read anything technical. *shrug*

    executive summary:
    The first part was funny, you know, the part about John C. Dvorak writing an article. Stopped reading after that.
