Om Says No Yahoo Wifi
Om doesn't think the latest rumors about Yahoo offering a free WiFi service are true.
From the post:
"The first reason Yahoo is not going to go off on a WiFi binge is because of its past: the company has a very healthy and strong relationship with the Baby Bells. The relationship is pretty simple - Yahoo stays out of the access business, and Bells drive traffic to Yahoo sites.
The second reason Yahoo is not going off on a WiFi-tanget, is actually the first reason. AT&T, Yahoo’s staunchest ally, has cobbled together a big enough WiFi footprint around the country through internal efforts and partnerships with the likes of Boingo and GRIC.
The bottom-line is that Yahoo can easily re-sell these wi-fi networks, or offer for them as free ad-supported service."
