Startup Launches Open Wi-Fi, Challenging ISPs 65
Chuckles08 writes "Forbes has a story about how FreedomPop is trying to disrupt the public Wi-fi business. From the article: 'Getting hosed by your Internet service provider may seem as inevitable as death and taxes, but a new startup aims to change that. Startup FreedomPop, which is backed by Skype co-founder Niklas Zennstrom, DCM and Mangrove Capital, provides cheaper Internet access and the ability for people to share access with others on its network.'"

When I lived in Portland, I tried ClearWire because the price was awesome, and my DSL sucked the big one. The only place I could get reception was if I held the modem above my head in the back yard, with it plugged into a 30' extension cord. And that was in one of their most built out markets.
Yeah, I sent it back.
