According to the inquirer, IBS, Intel, and Ericsson will create a Wi-Fi network spanning the UK with thousands of nodes. From a networking standpoint, it’s interesting that they’re hooking up to existing social hubs.

I just read that TMobile is dropping their prices to try to get business in their Starbucks access points. That they are getting AT MOST 6 users a day for each access point - far less business then they need to costs.

I’ve tried to work at starbucks. The quiet low traffic starbucks work well. The noisy high volume ones are a pain to try to do real work in. I wonder how pubs will do?
