It has to be more expensive for AT&T to serve me webpages on my iPhone over EDGE than it would be for them to serve me webpages over Wifi if I was within range.]]>May 21st 2008 3:47PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/05/21/atandt-offering-free-wifi-to-laptop-connect-and-smartphone-users/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/05/21/atandt-offering-free-wifi-to-laptop-connect-and-smartphone-users/(I really fail to see how it is legal for them to charge me twice to use my AT&T DSL in my house, and yet that's what they did ...)]]>May 21st 2008 4:55PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/05/21/atandt-offering-free-wifi-to-laptop-connect-and-smartphone-users/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/05/21/atandt-offering-free-wifi-to-laptop-connect-and-smartphone-users/ok, anyone else see the sublimal message here beyond the marketing banter?...WHY would AT&T offer crappy wifi service, free, to their aircard users unless they are using it as a COVERAGE SUPPLIMENT! (can you say t-mo redux)? Compare their multimegabit broadband coverage to Sprint's - it DOESN'T compare.

Anyone, who has used a Aircard from Sprint or Verizon, in most reasonable cases with rational non-fan-boy objective opinions, would attest that aircards used in hotspots are much faster (sustained speeds) than the wifi itself. I know it is counter intuitive, but those wifi spots suck. VPN clients are hit and miss, throughput is hit and miss, but the aircards always seem to be rock solid.

Don't believe the hype! Get up and get get down their mobile broadband is joke in yo town.]]>May 22nd 2008 12:00PM
