Waiting for my plane at Oakland airport and rather than connect to the web via their $10 (!) WiFi network, I’m online using my EDGE-enabled cell phone. (See previous entry for more info on this phone). 2006 is gonna be an interesting year. Either broadband (DSL/WiFi/EDGE) will become so cheap that it will become just a total given like electricity or natural gas, or the Telephone / Cable companies will succeed in establishing a new payment structure that keeps connectivity artificially scarce and expensive. Let’s hope it’s not the latter.
