Wi-Fi Monetization is Bad – The On-Premise IT Roundtable
from Tech Field Day Podcast · host Tech Field Day
The Premise: Wi-Fi monetization is bad, it should be free, frictionless, and fast. In this roundtable, Tom Hollingsworth leads a discussion about the premise that Wi-Fi monetization is bad. Some would argue that it’s evil. If venues and businesses want to offer Wi-Fi, it should be treated the same way other utilities are. These all require a degree of expense to the business, but aren’t added on as charges to customers. Keith Parsons uses the free, frictionless, and fast standard. Does that mean that everyone should offer free Wi-Fi all the time? And how does that fit into an organizations larger IT policy framework. The roundtable makes the case and digs into the details in this episode. On-Premises for today’s roundtable: Follow us on Twitter.
