A VC: Should WiFi Be Public Infrastructure?

It's happening. WiFi hotzones are rapidly becoming a reality--if I had the time today I'd look up the growth and give a percent change, but take my word for it that the phenomenon is real.

And once WiFi becomes ubiquitous, the CD as we know it will disappear from relevance. The CD has already gone the way of the stamp among anyone below the age of 14--the newest music-buying generation doesn't want to buy CDs at all.
