That’s pretty cool. It looks like it might be an unsustainable business model considering the past mistakes of other IT companies (like NetZero or free VOIP providers etc) but then again, it seems to be working for Google and even Amazon. What does Europe have that might beat the US to this wonderland?
There are a couple cities that are experimenting with free internet and leaching is a problem but maybe it won’t be in this case.
