The most interesting thing I got from this article is T-Mobile's claim that
it is more secure (and more reliable) than free hotspots. Anybody got any
idea how they can claim that? I've used their service and it wasn't running
any security as far as I could tell.

Subject: [TCWUG] Another point on the wifi hotspot business model curve..

Apologies in advance if this ends up being one of those
"subscriber-only" pages that drops you through to a
login screen; but the NYTimes carried the following article
about the growth of free hot-spots, contrasted with
the fortunes of pay-per-use hot spots; along with the
struggle to find a sustainable business model for
the pay-per-use carriers.
