Global Wi-Fi Spots
Finding a decent wireless connection is still not nearly as easy as it should be. When it comes to airports and
other public places, there are lots of spots out there, but you often have to hunt around for them. And when you do
find one, you discover that some are free, some are ridiculously expensive. Personally, as
I've ranted here before, I think all airports should offer
free wi-fi. But that's the idealist in me.
Anyway, for those in search of wi-fi wherever you are or wherever you're going, you might check out
this page on USA today that
provides links and info on over 74,289 Wi-Fi locations around the world. Airports, gas stations, train stations, and so
on, the list is quite comprehensive, and at least at a cursory glance, could be quite useful.

A friend just told me about a product from Canary Wireless. It is a keychain that detects WIFI and has a readout to tell you the SSID as well as if it is encrypted. I think I'll get one before my next trip.
