A Take (or Two) on Wireless

How does the wireless internet/networks phenomenon impact you? How does it impact education? Check out this interesting article from eSchool News (sounds goofy, but it's actually a great source of information).

I'm excited about the continued onslaught of *free* wireless availability - and seriously, is there a better feeling than picking up free internet when you turn on your laptop? Ok, so maybe it's not the absolute best feeling in the world, but it's up there... and I'm ready for free wireless in cities!

And talking about convergence... if you think this is a good profit opportunity, you'd look to get exposure to this area. I can't make an official recommendation, particularly since in this case I'm not planning to put my money behind it (and I have other doubts), but one company that has some exposure (but has had troubles) is EarthLink and their municipal networks. However, there's been some recent negative news about the project, so that might be something else to consider.
