Re: Will they be supplying the hardware?
In Los Angeles (though it might be national), Verizon started to provide Dell WiFi routers with their DSL service, now the cable providers jump once again on the bandwagon...
It seems to me that the companies that are making the big bucks in this "electronic age" are always reacting to technological progress with A LOT of resistance at first, before being almost forced to embrace it...
This is another perfect example, after the best and the most flagrant: MP3 and digital music. It took years for the music industry for them to realize they had more interest to go along with it and profit from it than to try to fight it as they did at first. This, to me (flag me for that), almost justifies on its own P2P and piracy.
Here I guess a newly-hired geek with some business sence had to explain to the executives what Wifi is and that they could profit from this technology... sad..
