Curious. I mean WiFi still connects up to something, probably a line owned by Verizon, etc. WiFi is not 100% available everywhere, may not be secure (but then again, the cell connection isn't either...). Nonetheless, cell connection is often the only way to get Internet at all.<p>I guess the gripe might be not using cell networks makes it hard to charge for some cell services. I suppose WiFi will just cost more. WiFi may be "free" at the hotel I stay at, but the hotel is paying for it (and probably padding their rates accordingly).<p>IOW, strongly suspect the costs will "come out in the wash", we'll pay for it one way or the other. Besides, FWIW I know several people who use their cell connection to feed WiFi routers. Think about it, since more and more people are abandoning land-lines and "going all cell" where would their WiFi be connected to anyway?
