T-Mobile and Comcast Produce Press
Release, Hotspot
05/27/2004 03:17 PMYour 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....

Review: WiFi Seeker / WiFi Spy
Review: WiFi Seeker / WiFi Spy
07/16/2004 04:50 PMA few weeks ago I got Chrisalis Developemnt's
WiFi Seeker, a convenient
keychain-sized wireless network locator. Marware's recently announced
WiFi Spy is a
rebranded version of the same device, so it should perform
identically.
To locate a wireless network simply press the button and watch the
LEDs. When the lights stop sweeping back and forth, the number that
remain lit will show the strength of the wireless signal. If the
lights continue to sweep back and forth, you're not in range for any
wireless network. Unlike other devices, the WiFi Seeker isn't fooled
by other 2.5 GHz signals like microwave ovens or cordless phones, and
it doesn't depend on 802.11 client activity to detect the access
point. It detects both 802.11b and 802.11g.
A Hotspot on Every Corner
A Hotspot on Every Corner
07/29/2004 08:25 PMDetails are sketchy, but New York City may allow six telecom firms to
pay up to $25 million per year to install wireless transmitters on
18,000 lamp posts: The article is full of sturm und drang about health
effects, but the real story is that the city is trying to counter its
dead zones without tearing up the streets. It's unclear precisely what
kind of transmitters these will be, but you can bet your boppy that
the goal will be wireless backhaul for the majority of the points
using mesh or simple point-to-point. This endeavor could bring
massively improved voice, 2.5G/3G cell data, and Wi-Fi into a city
without ripping up all the roads once again or putting giant cell
antennas on every last building. The companies include well-known and
never-heard-of-'em: the New York Post says they are two cellular
providers, Nextel and T-Mobile, three non-cellular companies,
ClearLinx Network Corp., Crown Castle Solutions, and Dianet
Communications. The sixth, IDT Business Services, will provide
telephone service via the Internet. [link via GigaOm]...
Hotspot Camera
Hotspot Camera
01/05/2005 06:47 PM Did Kodak just build 802.1X into a camera? Kodak will release a
camera in June that can upload photos via T-Mobile hotspots. The
software to enable this uploading isn't due until fall, for some
reason. The new Easyshare-One sounds like a combination of Apple iPod
Photo, PDA functionality (for wireless and previewing), and digital
camera. It comes with a trial for using T-Mobile's service. I'm
guessing that this camera's fall software release will leverage the
802.1X authentication that T-Mobile has added to its North American
venues. 802.1X is both simple and hard. If Kodak preloads unique
accounts, or allows people to set this up through PC or camera back
software, there's very little complexity. The 802.1X supplicant in the
camera can manage the connection. The camera will retail for $600 plus
$100 for the optional Wi-Fi card. Terms of the free trial service and
monthly pricing are yet to be determined. It's a direct shot across
the bow at cellular operators who are offering poor upload speeds on
their high-speed network. Given that T-Mobile has articulated a long
delay in their 3G rollout plans and don't want to clog their GPRS
networks, this seems like a perfect symbiosis for Kodak and
T-Mobile....

SBC is Hotspot Hero?
SBC is Hotspot Hero?
07/26/2004 12:37 PMThey're late to the game, but they're ready to party: It's a funny
thing. When SBC Communications first announced their FreedomLink plans
last year with plans build 6,000 hotspots over a couple of years, it
seemed like yet another announcement of large numbers with no track
record. Cometa was still on its 20,000 hotspots prediction and had
only a handful. McDonald's hadn't decided its partner and was in
limited trials. Wayport seemed stuck on hotels. And T-Mobile stayed
focused--as it still does--on a few ubiquitous chains. In the space of
a few months, SBC has moved from last man in, to practically first
mover. Let's review: The UPS Store. They will install Wi-Fi in
thousands of UPS Store outlets, which are places that business people
already congregate. This will probably also necessitate a change of
thinking for that mailing and business operation so that they can make
it easier for people to work for periods of time in their stores.
Wayport managed services. They hired Wayport to build out their
FreedomLink locations instead of creating a new division with no
experience in house. Wayport's Wi-Fi World and McDonald's. They're the
first telco to sign up to resell Wayport's McDonald's network, which
will ultimately be several thousand stores over the next couple of
years. Wayport/McDonald's supplier. They're also providing DSL and
other connectivity to many of the McDonald's that Wayport is
disconnected, which is part revenue, part branding for them as part of
the Wi-Fi World co-marketing model Wayport is pursuing. Airports,
airports, airports. They have roaming agreements now for their
FreedomLink users onto Concourse, Wise, Wayport, and (reportedly)
Sprint PCS's airport locations. There are only a handful of major
airports not represented by those networks: SFO and Boston Logan are
the two that come to mind. Pushing Wi-Fi into homes. SBC is selling
3,000 Wi-Fi routers a day to their home DSL users. This will drive
adoption by their users of Wi-Fi. People without Wi-Fi will buy
adapters or new systems because of the ease of sharing. Pushing
hotspots subscriptions to their DSL subscribers. It's a coming, and
it's going to be good--SBC keeps saying in its press releases that
they will offer FreedomLink at a substantial discount to their DSL
subscribers. $10 per month for unlimited use? $8? $15? Who knows. But
it's an audience they've already got and they can offer them
nationwide service with several thousand locations...

01/16/2004 11:01 AMMediaTracker is offering a low-cost way for venues to manage their
hotspots: The management software, ControlAP, costs $149 and can
support several platforms and both external APs plugged into a
computer or an internal wireless card. Because the software is Java
based, it can be run from a handheld with a wireless card. "It's a
do-it-yourself mechanism to control hotspots," said Dario Laverde,
MediaTracker's founder. "The initial target is cafes and small store
fronts." The software enables a captive portal Web page where end
users can sign in or see a welcome page if the hot spot is free. For
now, a cafe may decide to offer 30 minutes of free use, then require
customers to approach the counter where they pay the barista for
additional use. A cafe could also ask customers to buy another coffee
in exchange for additional use rather than set a price based on time,
Laverde suggested. An employee authorizes additional use from a
computer behind the counter where the ControlAP software can be
integrated with existing point-of-sale software. The next version of
ControlAP will support credit card billing. The software logs traffic
and allows a cafe to block URLs or users by MAC address. It can be
used to manage wired connections, too, so a cafe that may have some
wired computers available for customers can manage those together with
users of the Wi-Fi network from the same tool. Laverde says that
thousands of people have downloaded the free version of the software,
which is meant to serve as a trial version because it limits
simultaneous users to five and offers stripped-down features. The full
version of the software was just introduced this week. MediaTracker
isn't alone in the market chasing independent cafes that don't want to
partner with any of the larger hotspot operators, but it does offer
some unique differences from its competitors. Surf and Sip, for
example, offers a hosted hotspot management solution that either costs
$50 per month if the hotspot is free for users, or 25 percent of
profits for a paid location. Sputnik offers a robust solution for
managing hotspots but is designed for the small to medium-sized
hotspot operator that has multiple locations. AirPath Wireless also
offers a hotspot management solution but seems to be targeting larger
hot spot operators--Sprint uses AirPath's solution. NoCatAuth is also
an option but appropriate mostly for technical folks....

Oregon Gets Biggest Hotspot
Oregon Gets Biggest Hotspot
02/10/2004 02:40 AMIt's always worrisome to qualify networks as the "biggest" but in this
case I'd bet that eastern Oregon really does have the biggest hotspot
in the country: Yesterday, Boardman and Hermiston, Ore. turned on a
600-square-mile hotspot. The network came about through a
public/private initiative and was built by EZ Wireless. The network
will be used by the Morrow County Emergency Management and Chemical
Stockpile Emergency Preparedness Program, the police force, and
citizens. Initially, it will cover 600 square miles which includes
four counties and seven cities, some in Washington. The second phase,
which should be complete this summer, will add another seven cities.

Which Hotspot Networks Still Stand?
Which Hotspot Networks Still Stand?
05/19/2004 01:26 PMWith the slow rundown of Cometa's clock starting today, which
companies remain standing?: I do have a little ego, and my article in
Feb. 2001 in The New York Times was the first comprehensive piece
written in a major publication about the nascent Wi-Fi hotspot
industry. Several companies were striving to raise funds into the
mouth of the dotcom collapse, which claimed bloated business plans or
too early attempts to capitalize on a technology that only a small
number of laptop users had access to. While researching the story in
Dec. 2000, I spoke to the chief marketing officer of the Aerzone
division of Softnet. Three days after I spoke to him, Softnet pulled
the plug because they couldn't raise the funds to perform the build
out that they'd contracted with airlines and airports to handle. The
firms I interviewed for the article were Wayport, Surf and Sip, Global
Digital Media, AirWave, SkyLink (not quoted), and MobileStar. Let's
start in reverse order. What's clear from examining each of these
firms is that execution and timing mattered as much in 2001 as they do
today: controlling costs and building out a robust network in the
right place can only go so far: users who pay are still required.
MobileStar: While initially well funded, MobileStar had extremely high
run rates. I's technical standards were top notch, but expensive, and
expenses ran far ahead of any potential revenue. They went bankrupt
late in 2001 and had their assets purchased by T-Mobile HotSpot. The
company reportedly went through as much as $90 million in investment
income while producing no more than a couple million in revenue.
T-Mobile has continued to use its brand name and high-level
partnerships to run what is generally considered to be an excellent
network that's overprice for day use, but not far out of scale on
their unlimited monthly plans with one-year commitment. Sky.Link
Internet Plus: A promising Canadian firm with hotel and airports
service, the company disappeared abruptly a few months after my
article came out. It resurfaced briefly with fewer locations before
taking a final plunge. Its history and disappearance are a mystery.
AirWave: AirWave was a small San Francisco Bay Area set of hotspots in
restaurants and coffeeshops that decided that the software they'd
written to manage access points was a better product than the hotspot
business. In 2002, they exited hotspots, spinning off their locations

So we knew Motorola's new
V710 was going to be hitting Verizon Wireless sometime in August, but
internal documents reveal the exact date will be the 11th (and by
internal documents I mean a PDF on their site, so peruse away.)
Pricing looks about standard for a phone in this range: $420 at full
retail; as low as $320 subsidized with a two-year contract.
The most interesting information, though, are the three listed
Bluetooth Accessories, a headset ($80), a car kit ($200 ouch!),
and an external speaker ($100). While their function is pretty much
self-explanatory, what they don't address is that niggling rumor that
the V710 somehow uses a non-standard Bluetooth implementation (which
would mean other, less-expensive third-party peripherals wouldn't
work). I guess we'll have to wait until someone gets their hands on
one to confirm. (Thanks, Barry!)

Verizon has announced the
highly-anticipated Motorola V710 -- a 1.23-megapixel and Bluetooth
clamshell phone -- is now shipping and should be available nationwide
by August. I know it doesn't make sense that Verizon has gotten a hot
phone before other carriers, let alone get a hot phone and sell it for
around $250 (after rebates and contracts, natch), but these are the
strange days we live in.
Word on the street, though, is that the Bluetooth connectivity is
crippled and can only be used with a few wireless earpieces and
Verizon Wireless's proprietary syncing software. Now that
sounds more like the Verizon we know. (Thanks, Aaron!)
