But you are missing the point. Are you in 99% of the country at one
single time? No, you spend 94% of your waking life at home or at the
office, where 99% of modern people have open wireless, or protected but
under their control.

I know, I know it will take people like Rod longer to understand what
I'm saying, but it's still a fact that Wireless / 802.11 will replace
Cell Towers. Will it happen tomorrow, nope! but in the 10 year time
frame most Cell companies are "toast" unless they get to "free" calls
and $100 phones.
