wi-fi-fo-fum

by David Holtzman

I have just returned from a sailboat trip to the Caribbean. I traveled with my usual kitbag of gadgetry and for once it was more-or-less useful.

I bought an iPod Touch a few months ago and have been dragging it everywhere and trying to tap into free wifi networks and surprisingly enough, there are lots of them, even when you're in a sailboat, hugging the coast. I was able to find free wifi about half the time (when I was close to land). In many cases, I was able to tap wifi from cruise ships and even large chartered catamarans.

I see the writing on the wall now...a worldwide mesh of completely free wifi. Hallelujah.

I just got back from SXSW, and was very jealous of the people with iPods/Phones who were able to leave their laptops in the hotel yet still be connected. It seems like the future is finally here, and I should probably shell out a couple of hundred bucks to be a part of it.
