OT Wouldn't it be nice to sit by the pool while on vacation or anywhere else for that matter with your laptop?
but at what cost? paying per minute charges at near or above the current voice rate would certainly be a disincentive. in fact, if it were my pool, i'd install wifi in my home. if it were a hotel, i'd hope they would have it. (if it were something i needed and wanted, it could even help determine my choice of hotel.)
what's possible isn't always feasible or practical or cost-effective. e.g. look at, what, like 15 years of video-on-demand talk from cable companies. still, nothing that beats running to the store and renting a dvd in terms of cost effectiveness (bandwidth of cable vs bandwidth of transporting a dvd in your car). except of course, now, with the availablility of 500 channels on some systems (well, here in LA anyway), they can do a sort of video-on-demand for a handful of movies, via broadcast on multiple stations with staggered start times. but that wasn't what folks had intended all along ...
