Seems to me like a "problem" only in the sense that one wants to leech data connectivity while out and about.
- ctdonath 10y agoIt's a problem I deal with daily as my personal notebook takes 5-10 seconds to connect to my home network, annoying when I expect near instant connectivity to a known network.
- icebraining 10y agoThere are many cases where one wants to use wifi while out and about without "leeching". In my city alone, we have areas with paid networks, tit-for-tat networks (Fonera) and public networks (as in paid by taxes).
- macintux 10y agoInteresting, I'd never heard of Fonera. Trying to find hotspots in my area has simply emphasized to me how dusty my laptop screen is (the closest hotspot seems to be several hours' drive away).
- icebraining 10y agoFonera is nice in my country (and a few other European ones) because one of our largest ISPs made a deal with them, so every client of theirs is also a Fonera member, and therefore a hotspot I can use.
