AT&T Quietly Introduces $10/Month DSL

prostoalex writes "As part of the deal with the FCC to approve the AT&T/BellSouth merger, AT&T started selling, but not advertising, a $10-per-month DSL service in 22 states, AP has learned. 'The service provides download speeds of up to 768 kilobits per second and upload speeds of up to 128 kbps, matching the speeds of the cheapest advertised AT&T plan, which costs $19.95 per month in the nine-state former BellSouth area and $14.99 in the 13 states covered by AT&T before the acquisition.'"

San Francisco's free wifi is coming along...

This is a link to a map showing free wifi nodes in San Fancisco. Of course, someone is paying for these "free" nodes, but hey, these telecoms are starting to price themselves out of business:

From Meraki's home page:

Meraki is teaming up with people in Alamo Square, Duboce Park, the Castro, and the Mission to start bringing free wireless Internet access to the city. As a neighbor, you can help the network grow by putting a Mini repeater in your front window, balcony, or roof. We're giving away the hardware and if you can place a repeater on your roof, we may set you up with a free DSL line as well.

Our goal is to connect the next billion people to the Internet by changing the economics of access. From time to time you might notice things like local advertising and search tools. These are things we're testing to determine the best way to roll out affordable wireless access to the rest of the world.
