Couldn't disagree with you more....

you wrote:"Saying that Wi-Fi gets you free Internet access is like saying a cordless telephone gets you free phone calls. Wi-Fi by itself is just a network in your home, at starbucks, at the airport, or at a hot spot. Each Wi-Fi network needs to connect to the internet somehow before you get Internet and VoIP. It is here where you pay - $5 per month, $10/month. $30/month, and to many different Wi-Fi providers (Like T-Mobile and AT&T and Boingo, and Starbucks and McDonalds). When you add it all up it isn't that cost effective after all!"

How can you compare Wi-Fi to wireless phones? You can hook up a Wi-Fi antenna to your nic card and pick up high speed internet all over the place for free, are you kidding? Wireless phones you have to have their base to use that line. anyone that has a wireless router is usually giving off free internet to people in the area whether they know it or not. Come on now, do your research. Only 10% of people with wireless router's hooked up to broadband have a firewall/security enough to keep others off. Go to universities or even some metropolitan areas where everyone has Wi-Fi access all around them! Think of the possibilities when Mobile Carriers get in sync with Wi-Fi ! Maybe they will make phone software for labtops that have video conferencing integrated with the wireless provider, on top of that CLYW already has VideoConferencing phones....if the mobile carriers do not innovate these services, their market share will slowly be taken from them by VOIP companys that integrate Wi-Fi technologies, by broadband internet companys like SBC DSL/Cox communications/Road Runner/ Satellite Internet. This technology makes the broadband ISPs an integral part of the mobile phone/communication business. If there is broadband access coming to every neighborhood near you who needs mobile carriers anyways with their super expensive TOWERS? Wi-Fi and BlueTooth can start routing all the calls making companys like ATTwireless/verizon/cingular/sprint not as BIG as their market cap says they are. CLYW has the patent and is leading the way....if you don't think so it's okay...you can sell me your shares :)
