A community portal about Wi-Fi with blogs, videos, and photos. According to Wikipedia.org: Wi-Fi is a brand originally licensed by the Wi-Fi Alliance ® to describe the underlying technology of wireless local area networks based on the IEEE 802.11 specifications. It was developed to be used for mobile computing devices, such as laptops, in LANs, but is now increasingly used for more services, including Internet and VoIP phone access, gaming, and basic connectivity of consumer electronics such as televisions and DVD players, or digital cameras. More standards are in development that will allow Wi-Fi to be used by cars in highways in support of an Intelligent Transportation System to increase safety, gather statistics, and enable mobile commerce. Wi-Fi ® and the Wi-Fi CERTIFIED ™ logo are registered trademarks of the Wi-Fi Alliance ® - the trade organization that tests and certifies equipment compliance with the 802.11x standards.

It’s a sad statistic, but the US lags behind many countries when it comes to free Wi-Fi access. And in a country where air travel and connecting flights are the norm, finding a good hotspot while waiting for your next flight can be a pain — and if you do find one, it’s going to be pretty pricey. Thankfully, Google is unrolling a nice Christmas gift for air travelers for this year’s holidays — free Wi-Fi.
