2.5 million???
This is dumb. WiFi is really, really cheap; so cheap that it's not worth billing users for. Rigging an airport with WiFi doesn't cost anywhere near the millions of dollars some loser company is claiming.

  • 100 gates X 2 access points per gate X $150 per access point = $30,000 for parts.
  • $50,000 for wiring?
  • $10,000 per month to maintain a T3 line to the internet.
What else is there?

How do these companies plan to make money once people figure out that they can set up wireless internet access almost for free, and that they don't need no steenkin wireless company to do it for them?
