Radio Shack used to bundle Compaq computers at a discount with MSN when I managed a store in Southern California. The company lost big in the proposition, because it was right at a time when broadband was coming on strong - thousands of people walked away from MSN dialup.
Now this is occurring, and the 'white spaces' controversy is not over, nor is the WiMax rollout finished. How many people will get locked into 2 years of poor performance with AT&T (which in my area, is egregiously bad) and then jump ship? With the possibility of free service (white spaces) or vastly improved speed (WiMax) in the very near future, why take the chance?
