Telstra's WiFi network may not cost them much. Telstra will be getting their customers to pay for the special WiFi equipped routers, required to allow bandwidth to be shared between the customer who has the unit in their home and others. Also Sri Lanka Telecom have announced ‘carrier-grade’ public Wi-Fi hotspots: http://www.nation.lk/edition/biz-news/item/29513-slt-%E2%80%98carrier-grade%E2%80%99-public-wi-fi-hotspots-to-revolutionize-mobile-computing.html Hopefully this will be faster than the WiFi I used in Sri Lanka, which was very sloooow. At one guest house the WiFi was not working at all, so the staff handed me the router and suggested I take it back to my room and see if I could get it to work. This was a small device with a USB dongle plugged in, to connect to a 3G network: http://blog.tomw.net.au/2013/05/telecommunications-for-traveling-in.html -- Tom Worthington FACS CP, TomW Communications Pty Ltd. t: 0419496150 The Higher Education Whisperer http://blog.highereducationwhisperer.com/ PO Box 13, Belconnen ACT 2617, Australia http://www.tomw.net.au Liability limited by a scheme approved under Professional Standards Legislation Adjunct Senior Lecturer, Research School of Computer Science, Australian National University http://cs.anu.edu.au/courses/COMP7310/ _______________________________________________ Link mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.anu.edu.au/mailman/listinfo/link
