Aw, crap. MobileStar, the WiFi provider that turned every Starbucks and Admiral’s Lounge into a wireless ISP (I’m typing this in a Starbucks in Washington, right now) has hit hard times, having laid off “virtually everyone” and announced that its assets are for sale. I’ve had excellent MobileStar technology experiences aplenty, checking vital factoids and email on the road from virtually anywhere (you’re never far from a Starbucks), but my experiences with the company itself have been uniformly abysmal (it took six tries and an email tantrum just to get a receipt from them). Link Discuss (Thanks, Mike!)
