If it interferes with your licensed use, you have a legitimate gripe. It sounded as if you just wanted to be a radio terrorist just for fun.

No, part of their philosophy of following the path of least resistance.

They control their lampposts. One can not just mount equipment on public property at will. Metricom proved it's uneconomical to rent private property to do this. The good thing is that it is very unlikely you'll get multiple overlapping providers bathing your neighborhood. The major players are conceding the markets to the muni contract winner.

Then wouldn't you want Muni WiFi to teach them something about marketplaces as well? The home consumer would have many choices: cable, DSL, satelllite, WiFi.

You are accusing me of being a low integrity person just because I'm part of a Silicon Valley startup. I've resigned from two different companies that I determined had bad integrity. I've seen the Bubblehead act from a lot closer than you have and I can tell the difference between companies.

Well, you got me there sister. Actually, if I switched, I would rather be a glam girl with all the trappings of makeup, fancy hair and clothing.

What is most important is dividing up the ad inventory so that one can charge different rates based on the kind of web page the user is viewing. Eg, Run of Network might get $1 CPM, whereas PDA review pages might get $7 (actually from a real rate card).
One can reverse engineer demographics while maintaining user privacy through pages viewed combined with data from consumer services companies. You have a friend in the advertising business
