Comment on Microsoft Puts Free Portable WiFi In Forbes Magazine Print Issues

Comments

This is just a copy of the lame "cellphone in a magazine" stunt that happened not too long ago. Read the article closely and you'll notice that it says "a number" of magazines have this, not all of them. The number is not disclosed, but I'm betting it's very small. This says nothing about cheap ubiquitous hardware, the future of magazine publishing, etc. It's just an expensive publicity stunt.

I have a print subscription (needed to use up expiring airline miles), and my copy does not contain the hotspot.
