The New York Times' Matt Richtel takes a good luck at the really important issue of making money with high-speed wireless Internet access.

Where Entrepreneurs Go and the Internet Is Free: ..."It's going to be hard for commercial carriers to make a profit," said Dewayne Hendricks, the chief executive of Dandin Group, a wireless Internet service provider based in Silicon Valley, who serves as technical adviser to the Federal Communications Commission on wireless Internet issues."...

The situation Matt describes in the U.S. market is much the same in Canada. There are some small start-ups -- Spotnik Mobile, for example, or BoldStreet -- and some of the large telcos -- Bell and Telus --- are also trying out the whole Wi-Fi thing. I don't think anyone is getting rich just yet but all the entrepreneurs in the space that I've talked to are hopeful.
