Im getting to the point where Im so suspicious of Apples advertising tactics that I think this whole thread may be ad. I think this is a direct result of the more subtle (or not) approaches (outlined in this thread) marketing departments use in their struggle to increase brand awareness.
I too have sold broadband. When I tell a customer that they get unlimited acess but not bandwidth, they rattle off a list of my competitors that advertise unlimited.. again, i tell them its the access and not the bandwidth that those companies offer.. Basically, the customer will go to one of my competitors and sign up. Wait for it, heres the best part.. as we trade under 2 different names, my colleagues selling a different brand of broadband will get the same customers call in, THEY DONT EVEN ASK FOR CLARIFICATION OF BROADBAND, we pre empt it with "its all you can eat"... ignorance is bliss, for some.. anyway, they basically beg us to tell them what they want to here and ignor everything else.. as long as i keep telling them things they dont want to know, i'll keep pushing them away.. so ive stopped!
Jam a satellite dish on your vehicle, get an 802.11 access point and cards for each pc. Check your friendly yellow pages for a satellite ISP that covers the States, dont forget your power supply (generator). Then its only 106 miles to Chicago, we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, its dark and were wearing sunglasses... hit it!
