i don’t care if everyone and their sister is linking to permanet, nearlynet, and wireless data. but this is my annotated bookmark bin and i want to remember to read it this weekend:
“The nearlynet to 3G’s permanet is Wifi (and, to a lesser extent, flat-rate priced services like email on the Blackberry.) 3G partisans will tell you that there is no competition between 3G and Wifi, because the services do different things, but of course that is exactly the problem. If they did the same thing, the costs and use patterns would also be similar. It’s precisely the ways in which Wifi differs from 3G that makes it so damaging.”
