FREE FOR A DAY

WiFi "hot spots" to offer free wireless

Yahoo News/The Washington Post is reporting that September 25th is FREE WI-FI DAY! No doubt taking a clue from Ben & Jerry's and Baskin Robbins that offer a free scoop of icecream to promote their goodies, Intel and a group of tech companies are planning a wireless giveaway next week to promote its Centrino wireless laptop technology and market wireless access in general.

About 5,000 WiFi "hot spots" around the country that normally charge for wireless Internet access will offer it free all day.
