Earthlink's city-wide Wi-Fi ambitions fade into thin air

Thats what WiMax is for.

Almost a good thing.. They would have really lost their shirts when http://xohm.com rolled out WiMax service next year. 2-4M with 100Million people supposed to be covered by end of next year? Think Wifi simple was the wrong technology for the job.

Public internet threatened by private telcos

Not First "Real Web Browser with "Real" Search results"

From the Article:

He then held up his iPhone as an example of where things are going - yes, he had it on stage, and yes, he held it up - calling it the first mobile device that lets him "use a real browser to get real search results on the real internet." But we couldn’t help but see his personal Apple status symbol as proof that the wireless internet is still in the dark ages.

It is NOT the first mobile device that lets one use a real browser and get real search results. What is this guy getting paid by Apple!?!?!

I have been using my Treo 700wx since their release. Which was months before the iPhone came out. It uses Sprint's EVDO data network for its connection and has IE (yes I like other browers too but it is a REAL brower) that you can run in full mode which displays the pages as they where intended by the web developer. There is a little scrolling involved but it's the full page on the "REAL" internet and I have google as my preffered search agent which is on my home screen. So I want to google search on the "REAL" internet I unlock my Treo select the search bar, type hit search there this are my real google search results on the "REAL" internet. So this expert is simpley wrong.
