Nice idea in principle, but it's not obvious how we would prevent free WiFi networks from becoming clogged with mass media downloaders and spammers.

It would certainly change the cell phone industry. In fact, the possibility of free public WiFi, just the idea, should motivate cell phone companies to reevaluate their policies and acknowledge that what they offer is a digital data stream that happens to have a voice capability. Not that they'll accept this idea, or change their business plan, without a fight.
