Boingo Wireless is giving away free Wi-Fi PC Cards at Seatac: visit gate B4 in the next few weeks and get a free Wi-Fi PC card (brand not specified). This can be a little tricky at Seatac because security is separate for the B, C/D (Alaska/American), N (United), S, and other terminal gates. [80211b News]8:04:02 PM  comment

BTW, the RadioServices.app thing that's causing such a stir of buzz, is at its core, made possible by XML-RPC. Ta-dahh. And it's the weird kind of XML-RPC that's becoming so popular. The two processes are on the same machine, but get this, they don't have to be. Now that's flexibility that people can use. And by the way, thanks to Apple for baking XML-RPC support into the OS. That matters too, for acceptance by developers. It gets into every nook and cranny of the culture. Here at UserLand we call that "support from the platform vendor." Nice. Thank you.

Dave's "How to Make Money on the Internet v2.0" basically boils down to "Make the product people want and sell it to them." This can be simplified even further to (1) Listen. (2) Ask questions. (3) Do. (4) Repeat. [From the Desktop of Dane Carlson] 7:04:09 PM comment

Focus on Broadband Wireless Internet Access: to the increasingly large group of people who talk sense about broadband wireless services, I have to add Steve Stroh. His subscription publication (linked above) is full of sensible advice born of deep technical and market knowledge. The yearly rate is advertised at $595 for 12 issues. Anyone trying to make a living, start a company, or run a division in which this is your market shouldn't hesitate before subscribing. Disclosures: I don't get a finder's fee for telling you this; I have a free subscription which was not a quid pro quo arrangement. [80211b News]7:02:28 PM comment

Wi-Phone: Telesym's Innovation: while other Wi-Fi phones exist, Telesym may have caused the synapses to burn in venture capitalists and entrepreneurs heads at the same time. While their phone is IP-based and works over a Wi-Fi network, it still requires a central PBX system or server system that they offer for sale. So you buy a license, set up your PBX, buy some phone lines, and offer these Telesym's phones for sale to anybody just like you'd sell a cell phone. Right? Right. (Thanks to Steve Stroh for setting me straight; see next item.) [80211b News]6:56:07 PM comment

O Pioneers! Personal Telco offers free wireless access in Portland, Oregon's downtown Pioneer Courthouse Square: this urban oasis of brick and shops (and leaky roofs in underground offices, according to a recent report) now has free Wi-Fi coverage thanks to the community networking group, Personal Telco. They're professional now, too: they sent out an honest-to-goodness press release. [80211b News]6:53:19 PM comment
