This is kind of cool, the fact that any computer you can check e-mail Etc.
However this is just a Big Brother ploy. Just what I really want, is some one else controling my acct. and requiring me to pay them to use a computer. Then if I disagree, with the provider oopus they shut off my acct. Then I will be dead in the water, unless I had a Laptop or my own desktop, server what have you.
You know folks at MS are all for this (they alread have it with WIN Term Server. Then they will charge for access and continue to make money.
Another problem is when that server catches a virus or worm. Oh no, there goes your access for hours or days.
This is kind of like Fastlane, Transpass, or Easypass. If you speed between to toll points. And they make an effort to calculate the time between them (to find out that you were speeding) they can send you a ticket, or revoke your acct.
Thats my take on all this.
