Mandatory Free Wi-Fi in New Schlotzsky's
01/16/2004 11:01 AMSchlotzsky's Delis require new franchises to install free Wi-Fi: This
story covers much old ground (and misstates T-Mobile monthly hotspot
fee as $40 when it's $20, $30, or $40), but it does note that
Schlotzsky's has extended free Wi-Fi to 40 stores. Initially, they had
it in just 10 corporate-owned stores. Also, new franchises are
required to roll out free computer access. Schlotzsky's approach
combines computers in the stores available for free use and free
Wi-Fi. The Schlotzsky's folks continue to cite a very small study they
did several months ago: She said a survey of Schlotzsky's patrons
indicated that six percent visited primarily for the Wi-Fi access.
(It's actually that they visited for computer or Wi-Fi use, not just
the free Wi-Fi.)...

with a battery-powered WiFi hotspot in his backpack that's linked up
to the Internet with a

The open wireless node can be found in the first car of the last

Portland Continues Wi-Fi Push
Portland Continues Wi-Fi Push
11/11/2003 03:11 PMThe Portland Business Journal has another long article about the city
of Portland’s plans to attract Wi-Fi networks and Wi-Fi companies: The
Portland Telecommunications Steering Committee, a group of city
government and business leaders pushing Wi-Fi in Portland, hope that a
Wi-Fi cloud will cover not just downtown but the outlying suburbs. An
Intel exec is part of the group and Nigel Ballard hopes that Intel
Capital might encourage some of the wireless startups it funds to
relocate to Portland. Portland has been really ambitious in its
encouragement of Wi-Fi and I hope it spells success for the city. In
typical Portland fashion, the leaders hope to use Wi-Fi to bring more
business to the city but only as far as that can benefit citizens--the
leaders almost always talk about ensuring some degree of free access
on the Wi-Fi networks....

Here 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.

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.

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.

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...

yesterday at its The Shops at Willow Bend in Plano, Texas.

Free WiFi influences 40% of Schlotskys's
customers
02/18/2004 12:00 PMSchlotzky's is a deli chain that gives away free WiFi -- they were
among the first to do so, in a bold expeeriment at one of their
flagship restaurants on the main drag in Austin, TX, after Starbucks
set up shop directly across the street (Schlotsky's also took the
incredibly canny step of renaming their coffee sizes Tall, Grande, and
Venti and putting a starbusian combinatorial explosion of
caffeine-delivery systems on the menu). The company has released new
market research showing that free connectivity is a selection-factor
for
40 percent of its customers.
Glenn writes,
I've met the CEO and the marketing director when I invited the CEO to
speak at a panel I moderated at Wi-Fi Planet last year, and the most
interesting aspect of the Wi-Fi is that they're not excited about the
technology but its uses. There's a financial aspect to this, of
course: the average purchase price of a Schlotzsky's customer is about
$7.
But the CEO wasn't a geek; he liked seeing entire families or sports
teams or groups of parents and kids come in and spent time using the
high-speed connection. It's important to recall that a small but
significant minority of Internet users have broadband; for the rest,
Schlotzsky's offering is a profound (and free) pleasure.

Apple Continues Their Program To Hook

07/20/2004 02:45 AMHot off the severely overhyped announcement concerning the latest iPod
models (er... honestly, they look pretty similar to the old ones)
Slashdot has the
story
that
Duke
University is giving away "free" iPods to incoming freshman (which
won't make the upperclassmen happy, but what can you do?). The "free"
is a bit of a misdirection, because most people attending Duke are
paying an awful lot of money for the privilege, and I'm sure a slight
tuition bump to pay for the iPod will mostly go unnoticed. Of course,
this isn't the first time this has been done. Last year we wrote
about students at Georgia College & State University
receivi
ng iPods donated by Apple. While both cases talked about the
educational uses of such devices, it's more likely an attempt by Apple
to get people hooked early, so when they make big announcements about
iPods that really don't seem all that different than the last ones,
these kids have to go out and spend their money on them. It's the
same strategy Napster is using in
signing up colleges.

November 2003. Through the Microsoft documentation and a royalty-free
license, customers and partners can take advantage of the XML schema
in its diagramming and data visualization tool. The availability of
the Visio schema builds on Microsoft's commitment to XML by providing
a complete and W3C-compliant description of the Visio Extensible

information captured in their Visio diagrams and use it with other
XML-enabled applications, such as customer relationship management
(CRM) and enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems, as part of their
business processes. While Microsoft is providing this documentation in
an effort to aid solution providers and in-house developers who want
to create Visio solutions, some early adopters already have begun
developing solutions with Visio 2003, and have touted DataDiagramML's
usefulness in creating data visualization solutions.

As a person who spends hours each day at a coffeehouse, Smith is
always mindful of the fact that he is in someone else's place of
business. He doesn't go behind the counter to help himself to a

Your editor has been trying to sort these story out for a couple of
days: T-Mobile's hotzone powered by Comcast broadband: The problem
with a story like this is that it's been given enormous play because
it's a major city and a large area. But it's planned to be a paid
location after the first six months, and it's not particularly
interesting as a "partnership," because Comcast's role is mostly
marketing. Sure, they're bringing in bandwidth, but any Internet
provider would do. Likewise, T-Mobile has no other outdoor hotzones
that I'm aware of, and it's unclear what the point is of this one: a
trial balloon? The press release and coverage cites the fact that
Comcast customers have access to T-Mobile's hotspot service. Sure, and
so do I: the rate, as far as I can tell, is the same. Again,
marketing. I thought about not covering this at all, but it's worth
explicating the event. Meanwhile, in cities around the country,
hotzones like NewburyOpen.net in Boston and Battery Park in Manhattan
are sprouting that are commercially supported free locations designed
to be free indefinitely and focusing on areas with high appropriate
traffic....

How much money do first-time novelists make? Author and
upcoming first-time novelist Justine Larbalestier is
constantly asked by aspiring writers what first-time novelists should
expect in advance payment for their beloved texts. So she asked some
of her author friends what they got for their first novels. The
responses ranged in time from 1962 to 2004. What didn't change in all
that time was the basic amount: Not much. Quoth Larbalestier:
"The life of a novelist is, financially speaking, a mug's game.
Enter at your own peril."
