I think you are trying to be funny.. ha, ha..
Regarding teenagers hanging out at the mall..
I assure you their parents are not going to buy
web-enabled phones with hundreds of minutes
of air time and/or net access for them to
exchange flirts with their crushes. Teenagers
around here use pagers and return calls from
payphones. They can pay for those out of
their allowance.
I have gone into details as to why I think wireless
net is not catching on in the US.. One more time..
in the US, land-line communications are cheap..
there is little or no incentive to go wireless..
That will change one day.. I am sure.. but that
day (I think) is a while away..
Cheers..
