Summer's a slow time for news, as we know, and if it's not about Harry Potter it's just not news.

Nevertheless, the Times has
a piece on the Junxion Box, a gadget that lets multiple mobile users connect to the web. Fabulous for commuters and those who travel lots. A consumer version is coming out shortly. Naturally Verizon's up in arms. One priceless quote:

"We're not surprised that people are building services like this and trying to attach them to our network," Mr. Nelson of Verizon said. "It verifies how cool and how important our network is. We're going to protect that investment."

Chances are, if you have to tell people how cool your product is, it ain't so cool. Chances are, if a development from a small company is legal, and it's a threat to your throttle on the market, it's time to figure out a new way to do business.
