"There is mounting evidence that the cellular service companies are going to do whatever they can to kill Wi-Fi. After all, it is a huge long-term threat to them. We've seen that the route to success in America today is via public gullibility and general ignorance. And these cell-phone–service companies are no dummies."
John Dvorak has some interesting thoughts on the threat of Wi-Fi to the cell phone companies and the steps they are taking to eliminate the threat. He also has some funny observations on the current state of "wireless internet access" by cell phone users. Given how little some people understand if and how their cell phone allows for internet access, it seems most polls about such usage are pretty inaccurate.
