  4. the cathedral and the bazaar method... on Permanet vs. Nearlynet · · Score: 1

    of building software is acutally method adopted by hackers. If they want a software for any of their needs, they search it on the internet, if they completely fit their needs, they use it, if it is lacking somewhere, they modify it according to their own needs and make it available for everyone to do the same and the process continues until that piece of software evolves to perfection. However, if the software is not available at first place, they write their own (just with fucntinality to serve their needs) and insert it into the evoloution cycle. We have seen many software products starting from nothing to giants by this process, On the other hand, wireless connectivity cannot be analogical to this process. They say, first impression is the last impession. If you start cheap and bad, people will continue to think about you that way, for years, until you become good enough to leave everyone in the market behind. And that never happens 'cuz you never get enough feedback and resources. So such companies end up dying. The truth is that wifi has not evolved much to cover an area so large that an ISP can use it. Maybe the wifi technology is evolving in a cathadral and bazaar manner, but the services can't follow same pattern. So anyone who is thinking about a wireless ISP is being too optimistic. It will come, but not now.
