One Bill For Ip Packets
10 September 2003
”JOSH FIELEK WRITES that for-pay wifi providers could learn a lot from cellular companies in terms of interoperability and roaming. I’ve thought the same thing, though I’m not convinced that for-pay wifi is a workable business model anyway.”
One of these days I hope to pay a single bill for all of the IP packets I send or receive. Some of those packets will be used to build movies. Some will be reassembled to produce a cellular phone call. Others might be local or long distance phone calls from a ”land line.” Still others would be used to assemble email and web sites from the Internet. I don’t want a different invoice from each of the companies that might handle a few of my IP packets.
