These are excellent points Mark. In the midst of admittedly contagious startup buzz euphoria, it’s always healthy to bring things down to Business 101 level. This is no doubt a buzzworthy idea and investment story and it will get more than its fair share of blogosphere chatter, but the issues you raise highlight a fundamental flaw in our industry. We bring bubbles upon ourselves. We rush to the party in droves honking our horns before we know what’s actually inside. Ever show up to a club with a long line out front and no one inside? That club doesn’t stay open for long. The Internet lets us celebrate our innovations (often before they're even hatched) in realtime as a community of early adopters and supposed thought leaders. Discussion is a good thing, but we are only doing ourselves a disservice by hyping next-big-things before actually using them, and more importantly before having our friends and family that don't spend all day in front of a computer use them. I like your approach, thinking and tone. The idea of a global, shared wi-fi network is brilliant. Sharing spare resources in general makes basic economic and social sense. I hope Fon and their star studded partners can execute on this big vision without getting carried away with the inevitable hype that has only justed started with this announcement. -Yaron www.pandoblog.com
