...sorry, ath64, but it looks like your bet of a year ago that Time Warner would either free up or fold its play-for-pay offering down here is going to wind up a loser.
Just out of curiosity, I took up temporary residence on a sidewalk bench not far from the coffeehouse I'd just left and suffered through trying to read my screen well enough in broad daylight-and people, you haven't suffered unless you've tried that with a Mac-to see whether Time Warner had come to its senses and joined the free world, as they did right from the jump out at the Legends over in KCK. No such luck; they still expect someone to be so hard up for the Internet that they'll jump through the hoops of registering and paying for it, instead of popping into some place offering it for free, as I just did. Not only that, but the signal from their access points penetrates indoors so poorly that the only customers it can hope to attract are those few who can manage to find sufficiently shaded areas outdoors where they can sit and surf, or those even fewer who'd dare to pull out a laptop outdoors on the Plaza after dark.
How's about double or nothing that Time Warner throws in the towel between now and Christmas?
