Ireland Hooked Up with Free NiWiFi:
Following a dealio between British Telecom and Nintendo, Ireland’s going to be bathed in NiWiFi. Irish users will be able to enjoy free WiFi at any of the 270 BT Openzone locations across the emerald isle. BT Openzone locations include O’Brien’s sandwich bars, Hilton Hotels, Maxol Service Stations, Insomnia Coffee Shops (great name!) and BT Payphones. What a odd round-up of locals. “We believe the future for WiFi is that people will be able to access the internet, their corporate networks and their game consoles any time, anywhere using whatever device they have,” said BT’s Chris Clark. But, are they really expecting Irish gamers to hang out and play Mario Kart at the local gas station?

Meh is all I can say. I'm not likely to sit at a gas station with my DS out playing Mario Kart, nowhere to sit, and if you sit outside, chances are some scangers will be right up in your face saying crap like "ah what da f*** is dat ting, mario iz so f***ing ghey. Lets mug dat chap roi' der noiw" or something to that nature :rolleyes:
