Is Wi-Fi the Internet’s Next Big Freebie?
In many neighborhoods, one Wi-Fi connection can provide broadband service to several homes. Why pay more? Is Wi-Fi the next big giveaway? In some cities, “war (wireless access revolution) driving” - driving around with a laptop and Wi-Fi detection technology to identify hot spots - is a favorite pastime of geeks with too much time on their hands and a full tank of gas. Once a hot spot is found, it is marked - warchalked - on a sidewalk or building with a special symbol that lets others know that a Wi-Fi signal is there for the tapping.
