Re: Chrysler To Turn Vehicles Into Wireless Hotspots
I think its a cool idea but it will go extinct like in car phones did, why would you get this option when you can just buy a wireless broadband card for your laptop?

Re: Chrysler To Turn Vehicles Into Wireless Hotspots
So if I desperately need Wifi, I can just follow Chryslers around?
Hmm.

Re: Chrysler To Turn Vehicles Into Wireless Hotspots
Chrysler has so many other things it needs to work on.
Car internet is the last thing I expect.

Re: Chrysler To Turn Vehicles Into Wireless Hotspots
that's what I was thinking too...Wifi, Sirius TV, swivel/go, heated/cooler cupholders, etc are cool but become the only cool things on an otherwise uncompetitive vehicle

Re: Chrysler To Turn Vehicles Into Wireless Hotspots
Good point, but I feel this will only have limited appeal. I wonder what the monthly cost will be?

Re: Chrysler To Turn Vehicles Into Wireless Hotspots
Great. Now soccer mom can do one more thing in her car besides drive it and look out for traffic.
