Commuters Find Internet Access on Rail,
Bus, and Boat 07/07/2004 07:51 PM
The Washington State Ferries are leading the rush to bring wireless Internet service to regular commuters: I contributed a couple of stories to the Thursday New York Times Circuits section about commuter-Fi: Internet access available by Wi-Fi relayed from cellular, satellite, and fixed or mobile land services. The Washington ferries will soon have the largest service by orders by magnitude that serves commuters: potentially, they could have 10,000 users a day by fall. The next biggest in the U.S. with regular service is Altamount Commuter Express (ACE), which I write about in the article as well, but which has just 45 to 60 users on an average day. Commuter Internet access is potentially the single largest concentrated market for data users. While six million people commute to work via public transportation on an average day in the U.S., only a tiny fraction have access to any live Internet signal at any stage in their journey at any price. I don't have the percentage of those commuters who carry laptops or handhelds, but specific routes already have a significant percentage of passengers already using their laptops en route. (More staggeringly, by the way: 75 million trips are taken each average weekday on some form of public transportation on an average weekday, with 66.5 million of those trips by bus.) This is a market that cellular data operators would love to tap into, but there are two limiting factors: cell data isn't ideally equipped for people riding at high speeds inside metal containers; and many of the commuters who might use a free service (in exchange for looking at advertising) or pay $20 to $30 per month for high-speed access wouldn't pony up $350 for a PC Card and $80 per month for the comparable cellular service if they don't need it outside their commute. That is, you have plenty of commuters who don't meet the road warrior profile, but have every bit as much need for data access during their daily shuttling. The main article focuses on the various efforts that are well underway in the U.S., and mentions a few international projects, such as GNER's recent rail launch, the Linx train service in Sweden/Denmark, and Paris's bus project. The meat of the story looks at the Washington States Ferries use of a government grant to test the ways by which high-speed service could be offered continuously. The Port Townsend company...

When candidates - or CEOs - lie about their service record, don't they generally get forced to resign? Isn't that the norm? Just wondering. The following passage from Salon is merely coincidental: In 1978, during an unsuccessful run for Congress in west Texas, Bush produced campaign literature that claimed he had served "in the US Air Force and the Texas Air National Guard." George W. Bush was never in the US Air Force....
