The Assassination of Wi-Fi

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.'"

    If Dvorak had taken about ten minutes to learn something about the differences in infrastructure between cell services and WiFi (hint, it has something to do with frequencies), he would have never have written this abortion. Or maybe he wouldn't have. The guy is a troll of monumental proportions, but instead of treating him like you would your average streetcorner religious zealot, somehow or other this guy keeps getting press. He's completely divorced from reality.

    Or maybe they realize it's not about what you look like but what you can do.
    Go some where else with your petulant teenage ranting. Or do your self some
    good and go learn something. Or just stand there and try to look pretty untill
    some one gives you money. No body here gives a fsck what you think anyways.

    Just because he's French (heauxmeaux), doesn't mean he's gay.
