Wary Of Wireless
from the had-enough-promises? dept
A Business Week reporter writes what a lot of people are thinking concerning wireless hype: we've heard all of this hype before, and we don't believe it any more. That's why wireless firms are suffering. They may have great technology and cool ideas, but the hype from wireless firms sounds just like the hype from internet firms a few years ago. It didn't come true then, and it's even more difficult to see the real advantages of wireless now.Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
