The WiFi Situation In China
There have been plenty of stories about the different WiFi situations in different countries, but other than the whole WAPI mess, there hasn't been a whole lot about WiFi in China. Over at Poynter Online, Fons Tuinstra, writes about the WiFi situation in China, where it's apparently quite difficult to find a free hotspot, or one that you can easily access. This, of course, might be by design, but it could also slow down the adoption of WiFi (which, again, could be by design).
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
