i know i should be developing the framework, this was the coldest weekend in nyc, went to borders on 32nd st to use their hotspot since my previous room was a dead zone. My current room has access to a couple of networks even a nypc.hotspot. So am hoping that i don't have to go all over the place looking for wifi hotspots. Borders is almost always full. I think lots of the folks use Borders as a social meetspot, which is maybe unfair for the folks that come in to read. Oh well, it really is Borders problem since i used to drink lots of their tea and smoothies but don't any more since there is no place to sit. Book stores are optimal telecommute offices with all the books, the quiet and the cafe, however i doubt lots of this organizations will figure this out fast enough. Even Starbucks doesn't sem to have a clue.
Community networks offer the most promise since more smaller business will be part of the community nets while the bigger and dumber organizations will do the for-pay access type thing. What would be the ideal hostpot for telecommuting?
