If you operate on unlicensed spectrum and charge for it, you'd better be in a very isolated area or focus your service based on something else than just offering the spectrum.
"These community-based wireless networks are wonderful, but these will never take the place of actual wireless systems deployed by carriers or companies such as T-Mobile," Ameri said.
They will exactly TAKE THE PLACE. What's left, is providing something special on that SHARED place. It will not take very long, when there's an international network of open gateways, and services that are provided commercially now (such as easiness to log-on anywhere you are). The share of the commercial companies will get smaller. IMHO, the commercial companies cannot provide much extra - they can do it first, but if it's useful these free services will adopt it.
Once they can license or otherwise guarantee the bandwidth, the situation changes. Like, if they can provide GPRS or some other means when the quality of the WiFi goes below certain limit (although I don't see any reasons why this could not be done by anyone else than the GPRS provider too):)

Well, I made some shortcuts in the explanation. In some cases I use the time, and in some cases not. The time is used as part of the sum only when there's not enough data available otherwise.

Yes, why? Each of the stories contain atleast one insanity, that makes them impossible in reality, or atleast not feasible;) But, some people have actually thanked me for some minimal piece of useful info there has been in in them. Yes, they are just my perverted humour;)
Nowadays, you can just walk to another company, give them your brand, and say: "Produce xxxxxx" of these. The risk is much smaller nowadays. If you go to a fair related to mobiles, you will meet a dozen of these companies. Same stuff, with different logo and package. If it works, they might take the risk to themselves.
As some people have started reloading the spammer-nailer page a lot, it seems, maybe I should clarify that the e-mail address is not unique as unique per pageload. Instead, it's an md5 sum created based on the details got from the client host, browser, time, and maybe something else. So, it's somewhat unique per spammer.
> Um, you do realize that that page also links to a page with your real (looks real, anyway) e-mail address, as well as the addresses of your wife and children? (Blues Brothers: How much for the wife?)
Yeah, I am not greedy;)))

Hehehehe! I quess you are too clever to do that. I am hoping I can lure some trend-wise market-droids into that though:)
I am trying this approach. Make spammers "agree" and subscribe for an "service" which gives them right to spam a spefic unique e-mail address. The subcription and agreement is done by sending an e-mail to this unique address. As the e-mail address is unique, and I got the webserver logs of who "agreed" on the terms. There might be some chance to nail them:)))

I agree on this cost.

Let's assume the cost would be that $1000 per month. Now, you got an eZine, and the brand of Linux Journal. You give printing permissions for a 3rd party, who sells paper-print copies of it and gives 5% of revenues to you. Can you cover the costs? I don't know, but I don't think it's fantasy economics either.
> Strange as it might seem to me I still like paper copies of magazines which I can read away from my monitor
I agree. However, it would not need to be only an eZine, they could also sell some company the rights to print it, and take just some percent of the possible profits. What could they loose?:)

this comp.lang.perl.misc posting by Jon Orwant who started the magazine together with Tom Christiansen in 1996, gives some insight how the dilemma started. This is just a short clip:
"there's no
shortage of content out there, and the magazine could easily
go bimonthly and then monthly -- indeed, when EarthWeb
acquired TPJ I had thought that was the plan.".
Apparently, TPJ was just in wrong place at wrong time, and fall to a vacuum because of that.
I have not followed the magazine a lot, but I remember reading it back in 1996, or maybe 1997. Back then, I got the impression that there was some ( a lot ) volunteer effort behind it back then. Could they, like, open source it - and maybe minimize the financial risk involved to it, I understood that they have been making some losses because of it. They could eZine it, and see if it could fly again. Costs would be minimal, or zero to them, just giving out the brand, basicly. It's a shame if a classic like this just disappears.
I am not quite sure whether this "activity" can be considered as trolling. I aimed into getting insightful answers, and not what jargon definition says : "Trolls are recognizable by the fact that they have no real interest in learning about the topic at hand - they simply want to utter flame bait."
Actually, I cannot instantly come up with a word from jargon, that would describe it correctly.... enlighten me?
As the project homepage linked from the article seems slashdotted already, you might want to browse to the homepage at sourceforge:
"BRiX, like many other operating systems, provides features such as SMP, preemptive multithreading, virtual memory, a secure multiuser environment and an easy to use graphical interface. How it does this and the end result make it very much unlike any existing operating systems. BRiX is a computing environment and not an operating system. It is a combination of operating system and applications all-in-one. "

Here's a myth for you from perl.org site:

Visiontek is privately owned company, it does not have such tight restrictions as a publicly traded company. See, this for example.
...and does a major competitor have influence over them?
