I saw this headline, got VERY excited, then clicked on it and was only a little bit excited. You see, I immediately jumped into thinking that all you’d have to do in the near future is make sure you’re near a Chrysler car to be sure of getting a WiFi connection. And not just your own car as it turns out to be - I mean any car. Surely this could be an option though, as a kind of mobile version of Fon using cars to share their WiFi connections?
Anyway, as ever, the future looks pretty cool but one full of questions that are often unanswered. Personally, I just want to pay one amount of money for my data stream and then be free to connect whatever I like to it and use it how I like. Not pay separately for everything and be told how to use it.

Celebrities around the world will need to have a rethink. The ACEE has published the Top 12 greenest vehicles of 2007 and the Prius isn’t top. Some good news for Honda as it fights to defend its decision to go without sponsored branding on its latest F1 car as being based on its desire to bring global warming issues to the forefront of F1, rather than because the sponsor pulled out at the last minute, which thelondonpaper is claiming tonight.
And, if you’re not planning on changing your car sometime soon, there’s plenty you can be getting on with to do your bit towards sorting out this rather big problem the world is having to deal with this year.
Thanks Treehugger.
PS - I’m only a few days in on this so bear with me if you’re thinking WTF. I’m finding my groove here.
