News.com story might miss point on turnkey hot spots: The story makes the point that Juniper's turnkey hot spot solution developed with Colubris is cheaper than the $2,000+ offerings from Cisco et al. But Toshiba has a sub-$1,000 system (isn't it $199 plus some other costs?), and Colubris makes the Boingo Hot Spot in a Box for under $1,000 as well. (See, for instance, my article on turnkey hot spot systems.)
The Surf and Sip system is sub $500 and isn't vaporware ;)
As is the CEDX/NetNearU solution ;-)
