too. All you have to do is go hotspotting with your Wi-Fi receiver on or get a
Wi-Fi finder and you will have fun discovering open nodes around town. If you
have a First Step roaming account, the whole town is lit up virtually, and you
can get online almost anywhere you can get a strong enough signal.

<DIV><SPAN class=289445014-24032005><FONT face=Arial size=2>What most people
don't realize is that Moscow is absolutely one of the most "enlightened" cities
in the world in terms of hotspots versus population. Of course, it begins to
pale compared to cities that offer "hotzones" in which the entire city is lit
up. Spokane is a good example with 100 square blocks downtown open for public
access. I hope that Moscow would move in that direction as well one of these
days, It could happen almost instantly if the City Council could get over the
idea of fiber optics which will cost a lot of money and shut out the citizens
and local business from high speed wireless Internet.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

read my bi-weekly column on wireless technology in the Daily News. It's called

experiences.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
