Any suggestions/warnings/stories?



Story:

Went to a meeting with a friend. He had his laptop up and a stock ticker running, in a resturant that does _not_ have wireless. On cross-examination it turns out that he has a card and account from Verizon -- he gets coverage anywhere there's Verizon digital. Probably not at wideband rates, but hey...
