The use of Home Wi-Fi is also becoming famous, especially with the use of DSL or Cable Modem service as well as wireless routers like Lynksys. Good news for those trying to stay away from caffeine — there are no coffee required. But for those who still might want to have a cup while surfing, then by all means enjoy it!
More and more cities are going wireless. Recently Philadelphia and Minneapolis announced their plans to offer “Muni-Wi-Fi” coverage for just about $20.00 each month to their residents. Offering lower cost Internet access to inner city residents is the perfect solution to help close the technology gap in urban areas.
As more and more people jumping in the WiFi bandwagon, security must be accentuated. WiFi users must remember to enable their firewalls, turn on their virus and anti-spyware software, and the encryption software should be running at all times if you want your surfing to remain private. This also applies to the Internet in general since we’re all surfing in public (with the exception Secure Socket Layer zone or a Virtual Private Network). So remember to check with your Wi-Fi provider for security questions.
