I think "free" was likely the most important adjective here. Flash is like $30.00 per month.
Yeah, I've noticed that the rates for public wireless in the U.S. are still in the "you can gouge early adopters for as much as you want" range, yet to be brought down by competition. Cities where it's been aroudn for a while are more reasonable, as are rates in Europe.
I've heard that Philadelphia is implementing a city-wide free 2Mbps wireless network (possibly 11Mbps).
My father tells me that New York has a lot of "ad-hoc" free wireless access points (someone has placed a WAP in their apartment window), as well as some parks which feature free wireless access.
Britain is still mostly metered access, even for broadband though. Needless to say Ireland is beating their pants off in IT.
