[SmoothSpan Blog] Memo to Barack Obama: Incentives Beat Mandates and Penalties for ...: What about improving our broadband infrastructure?  One of the biggest pains I see is availability of WiFi.  It’s a mess to get WiFi right in Silicon Valley.  Yes, it’s available, but you have to pay this credit card fee here, or that one is secure and needs a password, yada, yada.  It reached a point where I just turn it off on my iPhone unless I know what I’m getting.  We can turn that into an incentive as well.  Create an Open Source standard for a WiFi access point that is guaranteed to be free to access.  I want to make sure that the access point is guaranteed free.   Set it up so the same access point is registered with a small business tax payer id, and pings a government site every day.  Then give the businesses a small tax break in proportion to how much uptime their free access point offers.  Make it a significant enough break that they can pay for the access point as well as their regular Internet connection charges.  Suddenly we’ll have WiFi everywhere we go.  Who wouldn’t want to deploy a free access point that worked this way?
