I have a question about the new wireless internet technology?

I want to buy a laptop or an Ipod Touch and go on the internet with it. Is there always a fee you have to pay for this service? How about if you only use it in places that advertise free Wi-Fi? Is there a fee then?
And if there is a fee about how much is it?

Most, if not all laptops that you will buy these days have Wi-Fi capabilities built in them.

Ipod Touch’s have Wi-Fi capabilites built in them.

These devices will connect to wireless networks that you can find in homes, at coffee shops, airports, hotels, malls, and the list will keep growing and growing.

Not all of these places have free Wi-Fi, a great example is Starbuck’s and McDonalds both have ‘Wi-Fi’ stickers on their front doors but when you try connecting they will ask you for a credit card or other way to pay.

Other places do offer free Wi-Fi such as libraries, locally owned coffee shops and other stores and Dairy Queens(around me).

So to answer your questions:
Is there always a fee to have to pay for this service?
No, not always.

How about if you only use it in places that advertise free Wi-Fi?
If they say it’s free then it should be.

And if there is a fee about how much is it?
The price will vary from place to place. Maybe 4.99 an hour, Maybe 10.99 for unlimited access for a month.

Good Luck,
