Travelers and nomadic workers of the world, unite! It's time to throw away your Ethernet cables and find a Wi-Fi hotspot near you. These convenient and ready-to-roll wireless Internet connections make it easier than ever to cut the cord. The best part? Such wireless broadband connections often come with a table, a comfortable chair, and a large caffeinated beverage
Based on the 802.11b standard, these hotspots mean that anyone
with a wireless-enabled PDA or laptop can surf the
Internet and send email at high speed, without having to plug into a network.
Wi-Fi hot spots are targeted both at business users and consumers, and this is reflected in the wide range of different access packages on offer. Some operators are targeting the business market by offering monthly and annual subscriptions. At other hotspots, users can buy as little as 30 minutes worth of wireless access for a few dollars.
First, the good news: Getting online takes little effort. In most cases, you just need a Wi-Fi enabled notebook and an account with a wireless Internet service provider (WISP). Click here to learn how you can log on to a wireless hotspot.
What's the bad news? WISPs charge as much as S$10 per connection or up to S$50 a month--twice what a dial-up account costs. Subscription to one Wi-Fi operator also doesn't entitle you to log on at hotspots operated by a rival operator--so if you're planning to sign up it is important to choose a service provider with hotspots near where you work, live, or travel.
