Hi Brough, I suggested July 11th at Stanford that $10 per Gigabyte is doomed, and our devices will choose $0.10 per Gigabyte wherever possible. Sprint has tried something like the FON strategy: Startup Taps Devicescape for Wi-Fi-First Network Sarah Reedy, July 13, 2012 lightreading.com Sprint Nextel Corp. mobile virtual network operator (MVNO) Republic Wireless may be wholesaling the carrier's CDMA network, but that's just a backup plan. The startup announced Friday it's tapping Devicescape Software Inc. 's Wi-Fi network as its first line of service. Republic Wireless offers a $19 per month unlimited voice, text and data service that flips the wireless model on its head by using Wi-Fi as its primary network and offloading onto cellular. It does so by relying on users' home and office Wi-Fi networks and, now, Devicescape's Curated Virtual Network (CVN) outside the home.
