Empowerment, etc

Monday, August 22, 2005

So this company across the street is running an open wireless network “AVBLR2”. I have unrestricted access to all the machines on their network and the Internet. Ironically enough, their tagline is “mobile empowerment”.

We’re sending an office boy across to tell them to fix their wireless.

Last time we tracked down a person downstairs because her phone was harassing our phones with copies of CommWarrior. We fixed it for her. This time it’s an open wireless network that my laptop asks me each morning whether I want to join it or not.

We’re now unofficially in the business of fixing our neighbours’ security, just so we can work in peace.

People talk about mysore being fully wifi and all, but blr has been like that for awhile now. In kormangala, I can find atleast 5+ open AP's in less then 2KM.

  Has anyone really used the Mysore wifi ?
  
  From what details I've read about it (4 towers to cover the entire city ??) I doubt if it'll be anywhere close to being usable.
  
  Almost all the coffee days and Coffee world's offer free wifi these days, that's quite a LOT of hotspots around the place. I think Barista offers it too but it's paid.

    I haven't used it personally, but heard from two sources that it's very decent.

HaHa!
But good to see the proliferation of wifi. Looks like it on its way to being a 'hot' city!

Technology should be for those who can responsibly handle it.
