Surfing at Restrooms :-) permalink The NY Times says that Internet access at many gas stations is becoming free: Quote: ...buck up, cross country travelers and truckers: the price of driving may be maddening (even when gas isn’t $4 a gallon), but the the cost of surfing near the restrooms just went down to zero. Gas-n-Surf - Bits Blog - NYTimes.com Also from the article: Quote: ...really, who doesn’t want to take a few extra minutes to hang out in the gas station parking lot? The gas stations can “use Wi-Fi as a way to cause consumers to be more sticky...” Gentlemen, start your engines! Quote |

permalink Reminds me of the growing numbers of wi-fi enabled rest areas along the highway system in the USA. How convenient they're making all this! Quote |
