Toronto Rocks With Wireless
Okay, so this link isn't to so much of an article as just a little tiny blurb about folks preparing for a big rock concert in Toronto by getting things set up over the secure WiFi network they've set up. While we've mentioned it a few times, this is one area of the WiFi world that doesn't get that much attention: the ability to "drop-in" a ready-made WLAN for single events. There's still the issue of backhaul, but that's not as important, if you just need to be able to communicate with each other. Of course, all of this might not matter if wireless connections get more coverage, but in the meantime, it's yet another example of how WiFi is changing the way certain businesses can operate.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
