I tried to go to one of the so called 500 T-Mobile hotspots at Texaco only to find no network avaialble. As for the Cloud large scale network it may be but there are no customers. I think its about time operators started telling us (and the press retported) how many people use their hotspots rather than how many sites they have (but not necessarily live). If you reported average users per hotspot as a measure rather than numbers I think you'd start to get truthful netwroks size reports after all if you say you have 500 and you only have 250 sites your average number of users per site would be half so these netwroks would have to tell the truth. Indeed it would I'm sure make the Cloud look rather silly 2000 sites I doubt they even get 2000 users a month.
