My local coffeeshop (which I visit often) has free 802.11b, no keys, no starbucks T-Mobile bullshit, none of that. They already had a computer because they are playing music a la winamp...
Free is the only way to go, for less than 100$ you can pick yourself up a cheap ass 802.11b setup, and really if anyones abusing, just walk around and see whos got a goddamned laptop and whats on their screen. This is a coffeeshop we are talking about here, not a S&P 500 corporation...
Keep it simple and free, after all it costs next to nothing anyways.
Just a few dollars above 200 (at least where I got mine), but this camera produces amazing shots. Professional quality lenses are readily availible on ebay, and everything is easy to find for them.
Great camera.
How would they control messages from other countries? They would just be collecting money from us and eliminating 'legitimate spam' (if there is such a thing) in the states. Perhaps Canada and a few other countries if they signed on with their postal services...but what about countries that dont? A tax is a tax.
Nono, you misunderstand me. I understand your point, I am merely saying that if each of us has a digital id tagging the email mesages and whatnot, they can install little USPS scanners on the main routers of the internet and send information on whos been emailing to their headquarters. Then they would send us a monthly tax or however they would impliment it, but it could be done.
Sounds like an opourtunity to charge us. This seems a lot like the door opening for the postal service's charging to send emails.
Why else would they be offering to develop this amazing technology? To make our lives better?

Wonder when Amazon will start shipping the book "Going against Google for Dummies"...
