Nilesh.org Notes on technology and everything else

A different kind of surfing in the sea - WiFi web surfing. A firm called Wheat Wireless has constructed a coastal wireless network from Baltimore to Florida Keys in the US to cater to the cruise ships which come in the area. They have managed to extend the range of the access points to about 30 miles or 48km away from the coast, probably using directional antennas. Cool, isn't it? Probably not. I would prefer internet access when I am in the middle of the ocean, not when I am nearing my destination. : - /
