In a laptop nation, wireless internet is huge

A lot of people have laptops now, and the world is moving toward wireless internet. At least from what I see, college students and business people especially are laptop users. I would wager that eventually people will be able to access the internet wirelessly at any location in the country. I was thinking of getting the Air Card that Verizon sells, which costs upwards of $40 per month, but gives you internet service nearly anywhere. College campuses are wireless, though often with a WEP key. In my hometown of Middletown, CT, nearly the entire downtown broadcasts free wireless signal. Many residents of highly populated urban areas increasingly decide not to subscribe to any internet service provider, because they are getting free signal from their neighbors!

A couple of years ago we nabbed the domain name, www.findwirelesshotspots.com. Recently I added a feature that allows visitors to find free wireless hot spots in their area. Click here to check it out - the URL is easy enough to remember!
