At the 2007 Computers, Freedom, and Privacy conference, the "Hot Spots
are Chilly for Free Speech" panel was excellent at analyzing how
companies such as Earthlink planned to make their money from municipal
wireless projects (as opposed to grassroots wireless mesh networking)
primarily by logging all the data of where people connect, what they
looked at, for how long, and so on, and mining that data for sale to
advertisers ala Acxiom and ChoicePoint.
