Analysts Discover Power Of Free WiFi

Well, it certainly took them long enough. After all the talk that's gone around the online community explaining the (seemingly obvious) point that free WiFi helps bring in more customers, the big name analysts are finally starting to catch on. Frost & Sullivan has put out a report telling retail establishments that, if they want to offer WiFi, they should justify it based on increased sales, rather than direct profiting off of WiFi subscription fees.

    New communication technologie

    by Guido G. Arnold

    Hallo, I came across a web-site www.streeternet.com. I entered it by mistake (I was looking for www.streetnet.com) und I found out that they claim to have a technologie that replaces existing wireless communication und services by connecting mobiles to each other in a simple way. They say their technologie does not need cellular communication companies. I was downloading their presentations und showing it to my bruder in law - he is a communication engineer working in wireless company - he said it will work. I think it is putting the mobile communication business in big danger. Best, Guido G. Arnold

    StreeterNet

    by Brad Toynbee

    Does anyone know if they have a prototype? If this Sreeternet is going to work the NYSE analysts should re-evaluate the wireless market. I wonder what will happened to all those multi billions SP companies if such devices will start being on the market. Brad
