wi-fi

Remember dial-up? Now it feels like a distant dream (or nightmare perhaps). Luckily things have moved on, and the physical limitations of the telephone are a thing of the recent past. In many ways, wireless in the 21st century embodies the true spirit of radio. And let’s face it – broadband is really just a technical term used to market high-speed internet. So as coverage increases and mobile access becomes cheaper (free!), more and more people all over the world can start ‘plugging in’, as it were. Our hope: the entire planet becomes one big super-fast hot spot, because breaking down barriers to connectivity is in everyone’s best interest.
