The wireless commodity

It's amazing how fast one gets used to technologies. For the last 2 years we have wireless internet connection in the office and at home and that was only the beginning. More and more we expect to find wireless connections wherever we go: hotels, airports, … but also public places and so on. It was the fact that the SAS Net Access didn't work on my flight from Copenhagen to Seattle that brought to mind how I started taking all this for granted. It was a real dissapointment that it didn't work, and not only because I had already paid the 26,95$ for it. I just counted on it to work, I planned on using it… while I didn't even know it existed a few months ago. 

I only hope the way wireless internet is offered today. I feel pretty ok with paying a few dollars to get it high in the sky, but on public places, airports, stations, market places, … I think it should be offered for free. In the center of Stockholm that's already so on many occasions (thanks Redge for confirming me that). The webpage that you get now most of the times when accessing the wireless internet and on which you make a payment could as well be a nice advertising or local portal to get people's attention while they get their access. Well at least that's how I feel about it.

So hope to get wireless access everywhere soon, I just ordered a new smarphone with WIFI included so we'll see about that, but until then another post written using my own wireless access, goodnight.
