VCs Focus In On WiFi
Venture capitalists sitting on top of billions in cash, looking for something... anything... to get hot have suddenly started to focus in on WiFi as the savior in which they can sink their cash. Of course, it looks like they haven't really learned their lessons, as they're starting to dump money into businesses that don't have much in the way of a well-defined business model and (once again), it looks like some VCs are investing only because others are investing.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.
