At a time when the city needs so much help, it seems the phone company could have sponsored the free wifi too, instead of trying to undermine it.

I didn't think it could happen to me, but I was wrong. Way way wrong. To Marc, I apologize, publicly, for that. I was wrong, and I'm sorry.</p> <p>Now if you get screwed like I did, and like Marc did, you have no one to blame but yourself. </p> <p>Get it in writing, and have a lawyer review it. Ask <a href="http://www.calacanis.com/">Jason Calacanis</a>, who wisely says if a deal is worth doing, it's worth having a lawyer write it up. If it's not worth that, then don't bother. </p> <p>Nine times out of ten you <i>can</i> trust the people you're working with. Maybe even ninety-nine times out of a hundred. But that one time makes it worth slowing down <i>every</i> time. </p> <p>Make sure you understand how you're being paid and what you're getting, and get it in writing, and have a lawyer do it. It's good advice. If you don't do it, you can't say I didn't warn you. ";->"</p>
