« Do Some Good! | Main | Remail, Identity, and Marketing » Austin Chronicle on Austin Wireless CityMarc Savlov interviewed Rich MacKinnon and I for the Austin Chronicle and came up with a fine cover story (okay, I'm biased) about AWC's (and Less Networks') success in putting Austin on the WiFi map, thanks in large part to Rich's decision to commit every waking hour to a project that generates no revenue. The result is an increasing number of free wireless hotspots in Austin, more than anywhere else, in fact, and more coming on every week. This vision doesn't fit the traditional corporate top-down command and control way of doing business, but WiFi has always been a grassroots phenomenon. WiFi is cool precisely because it disrupts the corporate business paradigm that attempts to shape and control the consumer... with wireless, as with open source, the consumer and the supplier are peers.

It's about knowing the difference between a life well-lived and a life that's purchased. It's about how much you can do with what you have. The founders and employees of LESS Networks have created a company based on the Philosophy of Less." jon posted this at 6:41 PM |

I liked how they called your company "polyclot."
