Redspot is targeting young people in Denmark with its wireless Internet offering (link in Danish): The service is aimed at areas that can't get DSL or other broadband access. There are a variety of tiers of service depending on what the user wants to use the connection for. The lowest level is just for chat and voice and the highest offers 2 Mbps and allows filesharing and VPN.
The service is available in Aarhus but not everywhere in town. Apparently Redspot says it needs 20 subscribers to cover a new area.
The Web site is all in Danish. Maybe someone can tell me if Redspot is a reference to a Shakespeare play, but actually I may be forgetting details—was Macbeth set in Denmark? I tried hard to come up with some sort of play on the "out, out damn spot" line, but I've failed.
Also interesting, the RedSpot service costs 49 danish kroners / month. This is approx $7 USD / month. Not bad. I am paying $180/month for ADSL in Bermuda.. ouch!
Sorry, Hamlet is the danish play, not Macbeth. And I seriously doubt that Redspoty is anything as sofisticated as a skaespeareare reference :-)
According to their website the 49 DKK solution is available within 500m of a Redspot antenna, and currently covers about 900 appartmetns in central Århus, in other words this is a niche service and doesn't look like something they will be able to roll out in many places at that price. Also the 49 DKK solution comes with no streaming, usenet, p2p networks or VPN support. In other words a very limited service.
