I was thinking about this (albeit briefly) yesterday. Some analysts are saying that the best places for viable hotspot bizness is in airport lounges, where people are basically trapped while waiting for a flight. The funny thing is that the airlines are now fumbling over themselves to equip the aircrafts with wifi routers.
And many of the bizness/1st class lounges already have free wifi. Granted, that's a smaller population of customers, but often the ones using wifi to begin with.
Yea, I can see how a bundled service with a mobile carrier is going to have a bit more appeal. Now if they'd just bring the prices down...!
