Anything that tends to push the world away from proprietary 'standards' is a
good thing, IMO.

Maybe not, but they might do it so they can integrate e-mail and calendars
with the rest of their intranet apps using something like Zimbra.

Good thing, then, that the iPhone is a media player phone, rather than
an e-mail phone.

Nope. SELLular doesn't have that kind of signal in Kansas wheat
fields, either. Hell, ATT has NO signal in rural SC.

Your extreme argument, is absurd. MUNICIPLE wifi will go in where
the voters want it.

How the hell would YOU know? All you know is Verizon. You don't know
ANY other provider.

SELL that.

Vote for the people who say they want less government and vote to fire
those who don't and always contact their offices to let them know how I
think they are doing.

The last thing I want is for the government to pull more money out of my
and other taxpayers pockets so you can have "free" wireless.

You may thing your current "sellphone" thing is cute but it makes you
look silly because most people realize the government could never do a
better job and it wouldn't be "free".

Not to mention, he uses that "SELLphone" thing in his postings because
he uses Verizon, which does sell every little feature on the phone--and
he thinks that every OTHER provider does it the same way, locking you
out of features unless you pony up a few bucks a month for the privilege.

In other words, larry is a few beers short of a six pack.

Actually, he's a pissed off ex-VZW customer who now uses Alltel.

But this part is true.

Ray, it's well beyond that.....

Larry doesn't USE Verizon - he uses Alltel.
He just hangs out here to be a pain in the ass.
And bitch and be negative as much as possible.

(Then there are always the conspiracies and anti-Semitism)
