A Week Of Wandering WiFi In The UK
A reporter set out last week to check out different WiFi hotspots around London each day of the week. The results are pretty much what you'd expect if you're a typical hotspot user. Things didn't work out so great. Sometimes they worked fine, but other times there were hassles involved. Also, just because you can work some place doesn't mean you'll want to be working there. Yet another reminder that as wonderful as WiFi is, the whole roaming hotspot thing is still very much in the early adopter mode.
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.
–The Techdirt Team
