SBC opens up Wi-Fi roaming

"SBC Communications said Monday that it is now offering its Wi-Fi service for a special rate to its DSL subscribers." CNET News.com

At $1.99 per month, it certainly is a special rate! Non SBC DSL subscribers still get a fairly good deal, $19.95 with a 12 month contract.

The main reason for the $1.99 deal is to increase the value of SBC's DSL offerings. But wouldn't it be great if SBC went all out and offered access to its FreedomLink service at a really low cost across the board? Say $4.99 for non SBC customers? A trusted brand combined with a low price at popular locations (currently UPS stores, McD etc) could have a great impact. Maybe one day.
