A PLACE I COULD WORK
Wouldn't it be great just to follow someone like this around as they taught you how to do one of these surveys?
The inestimable Alan Reiter heads for the seas: Alan is signing on to work with Bernie Dunham, the geek behind Geekcruises's wireless access that I've written about with great glee. Alan's a cell data expert, among other things, who has extended his interest and expertise into the Wi-Fi realm. Bernie is a recent company CIO who was dabbling in Wi-Fi cruising (literally: he's surveyed the biggest boats in the world for Wi-Fi networks) when company politics turned him into a full-time wireless maven.

THERE'S A BUSINESS IN HERE SOMEWHERE
Neighborhood-wide Internet access on the (relatively) cheap. Canopy is a $30,000 Motorola 802.11a product that can cover six two-mile-radius regions in a city with high-speed Internet service. At that cost, it's conceivable that a neighborhood coaltion of, say, 1,000 people might pitch in $30 each, connect the masts to Internet cables and put their region online.

NOT IN THIS TOWN
Wi-Fi Users: Chalk This Way. 'Warchalking,' marking 802.11b-friendly territory with a double-curved symbol, is all the rage among the wireless set. It's not just hot, it's hobo chic! Paul Boutin reports from San Francisco. [Wired News]
