Carey International, which owns Frank's limo, has been testing mobile wireless hot spots in half a dozen of its custom sedans in four cities since the spring, and customers love it, according to CEO Devin Murphy.

First, however, it needs to figure out the business details, Murphy says. It costs $1,000 to $2,000 to equip each car, an investment predicated on an iffy business model...
...does it work? Once a SmallWorld member convinces at least five other members to agree to join his network, he gains the privilege of inviting outsiders to join the website.

I can visualize her as a selfish, overbearing snot--visions of the Bush daughter in the limo, her tongue stuck out--a royal pain in the ass. I brood about this...
...brassiness is an asset when he's confronting crooked pols on 60 Minutes. But when MIKE WALLACE challenged some New York City cops who were questioning his double-parked limo driver last week, the newsman got arrested for disorderly conduct. The police claimed Wallace, 86, lunged at them. "I find it difficult to lunge into bed," says CBS's gray inquisitor, who was picking up a takeout dinner at the time. But Wallace, who heads to court Oct. 7, got something good from the evening: "The meat loaf was superb...
