WiFi wonderland

Gadgets Web | 14 October, 2007

After "oceanpark" and "disneyland" comes "wifi wonderland". I wonder what will be the next title for Hong Kong. According to the Office of the Telecommunications Authority (OFTA), 5,228 Wi-fi hotspots had been installed at 3,055 locations through the city, making it an international leader in providing wireless broadband.

This is nice for those in need of a quick online session but it's not to be confused with other technologies like mobile phone network-based such as 3G. WiFi restricts you to your currently logged-in hotspot and moving away from it will get you disconnected. Furthermore, WiFi is quite a "fragile" radio signal such as a simple wall may reflect or break the signal with ease. Navigating within the theoretically operational radius becomes a challenge in a concrete and steel environment.

I've seen a lots of people writing about some Twitter changes but apart from some slight design modifications, I fail to see what's all the fuzz is about. Features like Twitter Tracking are not that new and Twitter Blocks is still a very confused ("ed", not "ing") application too. (visit my own account)
