Wi-Fi Stocks: Too Fast, Too Furious
With all the hype over WiFi, some are worrying that people are creating a WiFi bubble in the stock market. The article correctly points out that the companies that directly benefit from WiFi might not be such good buys, and have little pricing power. This is a situation where the indirect benefits greatly outweigh the direct benefits. The article suggests that the true beneficiaries of WiFi may be computer makers who sell more WiFi-enabled machines, rather than anyone directly selling WiFi infrastructure, equipment or services.
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.
–The Techdirt Team
