768kbit?

I'm stuck here trying to figure out why such a low goal of 768kbit anyways. Thats like the dialup of the broadband world. At the very least, make it 1.5mbit. Although, I also think that this will end in failure, as those that might be interested in this option probably wouldn't buy into any higher package anyways, and for occasional use, I could see someone that otherwise would have a cellular data card or a tethering plan, switch to this free wireless. I'm not in favor of the telcos, but I can see the concern here.

Edit: I can also see them possibly putting a 1GB cap on this service, to appease the telcos very slightly.

You won't be downloading movies or watching TV over 768Kbps but hey, I'll take 768Kbps web surfing for free any day of the week!

The question is, will it really be free or only accessible after installing some special software with spyware and popup advertisements.
