Here's a pod cast from American Public Media that suggests Google is working on providing free wi-fi access around the country. It would enable them to broadcast ads. Wasn't there a movie where people walked down the street and ads were broadcast directly at them as they passed stores?
I still like the idea that Brewster K told us about last spring -- multi-hop networks where people put antennae on their roofs and create network access from many using a single IPS connection.
Wasn't that eye scanning done on Tom Cruise in the Minority Report?
ReplyDeleteI recently read or heard on TV the idea of giving vehicles wireless capability. Every traffic jam could then become a broadband Internet connection.
