Mobile home for open source
,----[ Quote ]
| open source has achieved significant success in the Web world, primarily
| for server-based applications, most notably in the form of Linux and
| Apache. Users of open-source software have noted savings from being able
| to use less-expensive hardware than might otherwise be required by
| proprietary software, as well as the ability to customize and even
| repair problematic software at will.

| Open source encourages innovation, even if it is of no direct value to
| (in this case) Boingo. But somehow I suspect Boingo will get a good bounce
| from going the open-source route and be viewed as an innovator offering the
| industry and the world something of value in exchange for recognition.
