It seems as if there are a number of interesting articles recently about
WiFi that I thought would be interesting to share with the group.
*Security for WiFi beyond WEP
It appears as if Wi-Fi Alliance has announced a recommendation for a
security scheme that addresses the inherent limitations of WEP.

*Surf and Sip is giving away equipment to expand network
I read an article this morning about Surf and Sip (anyone heard of them?
They power an AP in the Times Square area) and how they are giving away
equipment to help provide access to urban areas. Read more here:

*T-Mobile expands coverage into Airport Hub Clubs
As most folks have seen already, T-Mobile is rapidly expanding its network
of APs through their relationships with Starbucks, Borders, and now, three
of the major airlines, American, United, and Delta. In major airports
across the US, T-Mobile will provide APs in the clubs and lounges.

*War Drive continues
As we saw in yesterdays meeting, the World Wide War Drive is in full effect.
An event designed to warn WiFi users of the need to secure their access
points. See more here:
