Comments on: Eyeballs, Start Your Wallets! http://www.furiousnads.com/2006/11/eyeballs-start-your-wallets/ You're furious. I never taught you to sing. You carry rocks in your head and pitch them. Without warning. Happy drunk. You're furious. I beg you for sin. I beg your skin. You buy a whore. Don't give her water. You're furious.

For one thing, as a non-profit organization, they aren't really competing in this market are they? Also, there is a lot of this city to cover, and the MetroFi signal isn't going to be able to have perfect coverage everywhere. PTP is smart about where they set up shop, choosing to unwire locations where people are likely to actually use the service, as opposed to offering a blanket of coverage over the entire city. It seems like PTP can plug the holes of MetroFi and still be an integral part of Portland's future (awesome). I don’t think that PTP is doomed.
