Let me know when you have a hint of a market. Beach crowd in San Diego on a
very hot day: 200,000. Number watching TV (It's ON THE VERY SUNNY BEACH,
AMIGO) ZERO. During the SuperBowl, maybe 2 watching on the beach:
lifeguards.

How about reliable portable reception at the beach or a park? Or the

Of course, I must have forgotten. No need to be connected when you
are not home. I guess these people creating WiFi networks are just
crazy. Why would anyone want to use their computer at a Starbucks.

During his breakfast chat with Sam Donaldson, Chariman Powell asked
broadcasters to consider what might happen if there are pervasive
WiFi networks that equal the coverage of DTV. Every time I woke up
my notebook in Las Vegas it saw one or more WiFi networks. We stayed
in a house about twenty minutes from the Convention Center. The house
had a DSL modem, but we has some problems with it assigning DHCP
addresses. Fortunately, when I arrived I was able to use a WiFi link
from a neighboring house. The next day we bought a 802.11b WiFi link
with 4 port router at Fryes - net cost $19.95 after rebate.
