CAUTION: WiFi is a product, NOT a service.....[Clay Shirky's website]

In my opinion, WiFi (wireless LAN) is definitely a threat to 3G (i.e. UMTS and other wideband wireless services). I plan to write on this topic in more detail in my forthcoming book (more details soon....).

But this article by Clay Shirky has some interesting observations about WiFi being a product and not a service, hence why it doesn't seem to really offer any ongoing revenue potential (certain limited hotspot opportunities notwithstanding).
