The thing I like about Wi-Fi is the endless possibilities. I have been searching around for a group that basically publishes information about companies and individuals that run open WI-Fi connections. The source of that information is www.freenetworks.org get connected today when you are on the move for Free.
I have thought about forming a small local network with the neighborhood I live in bring in a significant data pipe share the cost and then have everyone connect wirelessly. Not that expensive when you boil down to the brass tacks. But unless you live in a Techno Geek Neighborhood many homeowners are worried about there mortgage.
