Sean Parker's Misadventure: AirTime

The AirTime I got to know was a video chat site where the video simply did not work. I tried a few times and gave up. This has not been a failure of the idea.

FreedomPop: Free, Mobile Broadband

FreedomPop offers free mobile broadband

The folks at FreedomPop are also doing some interesting things to get you more free data, as users can watch ads or refer friends to get more free data per month. We haven't tried it out yet but reports suggest FreedomPop will offer download speeds of 4 to 6Mbps down and 1 to 2Mbps up.....companies like FreedomPop, Ting and Republic Wireless are all reselling Sprint's services with some relatively radical business models.

That and a $99 tablet from Google and you have a free phone that is seven inches. No?

Or 2GB for $18 a month also sounds reasonable.

This is Republic Wireless' sibling.

This is just awesome. Power to the masses.

$99 Is A Great Price Point

$99 Is A Great Price Point

If you can make and receive phone calls over this, this replaces the smartphone. No? And you can. No? If it has a speaker and a microphone. If you have a Google Voice number.
