02/11/2004 01:23 AMHere Comes More Free WiFi
Here Comes More Free WiFi
02/10/2004 02:41 AMWe've maintained in the past that there are two situations in which
someone can charge for WiFi: (a) there is no reasonable chance of
competition in that location, such that you have captive users or (b)
you are offering up something special on top of the WiFi that people
value (which could be convenience, security, reliability, etc.). When
looking at case "a", this pretty much left only some hotels and
airports for the time being - since they could cover enough ground to
(somewhat) monopolize the WiFi offerings. However, the trend seems to
be changing on that as well, as both hotels and airports are realizing
there's a lot more benefit in offering WiFi for free
than trying to charge for it. The prices were too high, and not too
many people were using it. However, when they offer it for free, it
attracts more customers to their locations. In other words, once
again, it's the publicity factor that makes it worthwhile.
Free mall WiFi on the rise
Free mall WiFi on the rise
04/30/2004 02:11 AMShopping malls across the US are adding free WiFi:
A very small number of the 1,130 malls in the United States have
wireless access. But, she said, an increasing number are thinking of
installing the capability.
For instance, Westfield America Trust said most of its 62 regional and
super regional shopping centers will soon offer the service. Taubman,
which owns or manages 31 malls, began offering Wi-Fi services
yesterday at its The Shops at Willow Bend in Plano, Texas.
"If you look at malls in general, you are really seeing owners bring
in things that allow for more people to come do a variety of things at
the center," Duker said. "The mall has become more than a place to
shop."

Free WiFi Good For Business... But... It
Ain't Everything
08/03/2004 04:17 PMPopular bread maker Panera is making some noise today talking about
how wonderful their free
WiFi offering is going, saying that it has improved business.
They've found that it keeps customers in the stores longer --
especially during off-peak hours. Oddly, they don't say if it
actually increased sales, which is the key. Panera's claims sound
pretty similar to what
Schlotzs
ky's Deli had been saying about their free WiFi. Of course, some
of
Schlotz
sky's numbers seemed a tad overhyped, such as the claim that
40% of customers choose Schlotzsky's because of the WiFi. The
only way that really makes sense is if very few people are going to
Schlotzsky's at all... and, oops, that might just be the case. Today
the
c
hain declared bankruptcy. So, while free WiFi may be good for
bringing in business, it's certainly not the be all, end all of being
in business. You still need to sell some food and make some money.

12/09/2003 06:10 AMBen Hammersley's at the XML 2003 conference, where the WiFi password
costs $40. He and Bill Kearney and the other RSS-wonks in the room
have interpreted the confernece organizers' charging for basic
conference functionality as damage and are routing around it:
In answer to the long held question, can a TiBook with one Wifi card
act as a repeater and relay access to everyone else in the room
without them having to pay, the answer it turns out is yes. How do we
do this? Well, first turn off the built-in Apache installation on the
OSX machine that is online. Edit httpd.conf to load mod_proxy (there
are about 20 or so lines to uncomment). Turn Apache back on. Go to
network prefs, and find out your assigned IP address. Write it on a
piece of paper, and pass it around the room, telling them to set it as
their web proxy.

Is free municipal wifi good?
09/02/2004 08:06 AMPhiladelphia is considering investing $10M to blanket 135 square miles
with wifi coverage. Some people for whom I have the highest respect,
and from whom I've learned a lot, I anticipate are going to denounce
this. Their argument is that the government is exactly the wrong
entity to make decisions best made by the market. Why? Because:
Government agencies are ill-equipped to make technical decisions.
Governments are corrupt. The incumbents have too much influence. Even
if Philadelphia makes the right decision, it will lock the city into
one technology that will be hard to displace. There is no such
thing...

Schlotzsky's Continues Their Free WiFi
Push
02/18/2004 07:58 PMSchlotzsky's has been the poster child for putting free WiFi access in
their restaurants, and their latest announcement
continues to support that decision, as they say they've found
that 40% of their customers cite the free WiFi as a factor in deciding
to go to Schlotzsky's to eat, while 6% say it was the key factor.
While we've been a big fan of this model (offering free WiFi to get
more customers), 40% sounds like an awfully large number. Considering
the number of folks you see using free WiFi at many locations, even
here in Silicon Valley, I'd be amazed if 40% of all customers at
Schlotzsky's were aware of the WiFi, so I'm curious how they measured
this. In the meantime, this program has clearly been a success for
Schlotzsky's, and I'm surprised that other large chains haven't
followed with similar plans. It seems that too many of the for-fee
WiFi guys are running around telling these chains just how much direct
revenue they're going to get by becoming an ISP, and neglecting all
the potential indirect revenue from new guests (or guests who come
during off-peak hours).

avoid intimidating non-geeks, but just geek enough so that the

This book attempts to bring readers into the fray by
teaching them, step-by-step, how to build fun, useful, and k001
projects using Wi-Fi. Thanks to Wiley Publishing, the entire first

My business influences
My business influences
03/14/2005 04:23 PM
As you may have noticed by reading the site in the past year, I've
been reading and thinking a lot about companies...how they succeed,
why they fail, how to approach them from a holistic sense so they make
sense on a human scale and not just from a business perspective, that
sort of thing. In deciding to
start my own little company of one, here are a few things I've run
across that have influenced how I'm approaching it.
Coudal Partners is a design
studio based in Chicago. Like many blogs (their site is a little more
than a blog, but we won't get into that now), their site features
advertising in the form of text ads in the top left corner of the
page. But they only accept
advertising from companies whose products they have used: "sell us
something then we'll sell you an ad." I love this because it ties
advertising back into its word-of-mouth origins, makes it more human,
personal, and believable. (More on advertising stuff in a few
days.)
I don't have many heroes, but Craig Newmark is definitely one of
them. He's had offers to sell craigslist for millions of
dollars, many offers from VCs, he could charge for all listings on the
site, or he could fill the site with advertising, but this is what he
wants out of craigslist (via
Wired): "get yourself a comfortable living, then do a little
something to change the world". The many article
s I've read about Craig have really reinforced for me that you need to let your
values drive business decisions and not the other way around.
I've mentioned this a few times on the site before, but Ludicorp,
the makers of Flickr, has the one
of the best quotes about business I've ever read on their about page. It's an
excerpt from Disclosing New Worlds: Entrepreneurship, Democratic Action and the
Cultivation of Solidarity by Charles Spinosa, Fernando Flores &
Hubert Dreyfus:
Saying that the point of business is to produce profit
is like saying that the whole point of playing basketball is to make
as many baskets as possible. One could make many more baskets by
having no opponent.
The popularity of Flickr has put Ludicorp in a tight spot and it
seems like they'll need to get big somehow in order to keep up with it
(rumor is they've been purchased by Yahoo!). It's a reminder
that you may succeed beyond your wildest dreams and you need to be
ready for it to happen. Whatever their path is, I hope they can keep
true to the values that have guided the company thus far.
When Google decided to pursue their IPO, the filing included an "owner's manual" written by
Larry Page, one of Google's two founders. Google is aiming high --
focusing on the long term, trying not to be evil, taking on risk, not
giving too much control of the company over to shareholders -- and it
will be interesting to see how they fare over the long term. Google's
gotten a lot of shit for aiming so high, especially about the "don't be
evil" stuff, just like the NY Times gets criticized for attempting
to produce objective journalism, but I think that's unfair. I'll
choose a company with ideals they're trying to live up to over a
business that's aiming for the status quo any day of the week.
TextDrive, a hosting
company, eschewed venture capital and went right to their users and asked them to pay their
startup costs (in exchange for lifetime hosting). They raised $40,000
in 75 hours from the VC200. That's what's called "creative
thinking".
Dave Eggers gets a lot of crap, but I like the
way he's trying to run McSweeney's:
But the way that McSweeney's is run is, "Can there be a
way that what they call mid-list authors, people who don't sell in the
Danielle Steel category, can still have an audience and still make a
living?" McSweeney's has very little overhead, to the degree that we
can sell 6,000 copies of somebody's book, and he can still get a
decent amount of money, because he's getting more per book because of
the low overhead. That's still our goal. I was just sort of going
along with the same business model, like, "If we sell 50,000 copies,
then everyone will do fine, and life will stay
quiet."
Not trying to take over the world, just doing something in balance
with the lives of everyone concerned.
David Bull is an artist who makes fantastic woodblock prints.
He doesn't number his prints, doesn't sell through collectors, doesn't
even offer individual prints, and yet he's been making a living from
his art for more than 16 years. He sells subscriptions of his prints
through his site and here's a bit
of his philosophy on that:
I like making prints, and am not afraid of the physical
work of printing them. Unlike many artists, who prefer to keep their
edition sizes small (to save work, or to keep things 'exclusive') and
who must thus charge high prices for their prints, I prefer to make
more of them and keep the cost to each collector as low as
possible.
There are lots more people other there doing wonderful things with
their business lives (37signals, the independent Mac
developers like Ranchero, Delicious
Monster, and Panic, etc.) but
that's enough for now.

04/16/2005 02:35 PM
Hotspot payment system provider enters bankruptcy, halts services: I
obtained information yesterday that Excilan, a
Luxembourg-headquartered firm that offered a unique method of payment
for hotspot services, has entered bankruptcy in that country Friday.
The service will halt operations Monday at noon local time according
to details I received. Excilan allowed cell phone users at a Wi-Fi
hotspot to enter their number on a gateway page and receive a
confirmation call that they could use to agree to pay for the service.
Customers of cell operators that hadn't agreed to work with Excilan
were granted short, free sessions which Excilan used as a
market-research tool to find partners. I don't know the details of why
the company has gone into bankruptcy; they were privately held. The
company has been remarkably upfront about its usage, however, posting
statistics on its home page. The most recent quarter saw 7,098
sessions, which at the highest possible commission and split might
have meant just a few U.S.$10,000s. Sean O'Mahoney joined the firm
last year as CEO. O'Mahoney was formerly a founder and the CEO of
Vancouver, B.C., Canada's FatPort, which was an early Excilan partner.
I was unable to reach O'Mahoney for comment since obtaining the
news....
