Free WiFi access spreads rapidly

Free WiFi (wireless) internet access is spreading like, well wildfire. Highway restrooms in the USA are installing free WiFi to aid the weary or lost traveller. Bustops are connecting the commuting traveller to the web. And now towns are beginning to offer free, broad area WiFi internet access.

Here is a selection of free, city-wide or distributed WiFi installations I encountered on the web over the past few days:

Forest Grove, Oregon, USA

Springfield, Illinois, USA

Portsmouth, Virginia, USA (waterfront area)

39 Iowa highway rest stops

Toronto, Canada, downtown core
