Thanks to Alan Brody of iBreakfast for inviting me. ZDNet covered the event here. I also took some notes of the event. Aside from the content of the event, I was very impressed by one statement Ted used. In two sentences he basically outlined his business, telling me end to end who his value chain, customers and potential partners are. Cometa will build an infrastructure using 802.11 access points which will be..http://www.howardgreenstein.com/blog/2003/01/29.html#a254 (Untitled)- January 29, 2003 State of the Union is starting.

Lots of great folks at dinner last night, thanks to host Renee Edelman and her neighbor Don. The pictures tell an ok story, not my best shots. I hope Jerry or Greg got better shots than I did.http://www.howardgreenstein.com/blog/2003/01/16.html (Untitled)- January 14, 2003 A friend of mine, upon borrowing a wi-fi card, opened his laptop in his kitchen to find that one of his neighbors is sharing their access point with the neighborhood.
