The Price of Wi-Fi

<<< Previous Entry: Twenty and Indeed One | This Month's entries | Next Entry: Grace, Faith, Legalism and Youthwork >>

Why, I ask, is wi-fi so expensive? At its cheapest it's still £4.50 (just over $7) for an hour, which is ridiculous for a service that after the initial setup doesn't really cost anything to run. I'm sure that prices will drop sharply in the future, but I want the future now. If BT or some other big provider decided to drop the price to £2.00 an hour, or some even cheaper bulk deal, I'd be all over it.
Rant Over.

i have no idea what wi-fi is, but it sounds like some sort of matrimonial jukebox. you spin a record, and during the course of the record, you meet a chick and get married.

and if that's the case, then it bloody well should be expensive. quite yer grumbling, whalley! ;)

without an 'h', obviously.

I got wi-fi set up at my home and it's free! It cost me for my internet connection, but after the airport everythings free.
Also down my local I get free wi-fi too. I love that pub!
