Wi-Fi Hotspots–Database
Portable Version of Wi-Fi Hotspot Database Now Available from JiWire
JiWire is a searchable database of over 28,000 wi-fi hotspots located in more than 50 countries. The database can be searched online (it’s been available for about six months and has more than doubled in size), using a WAP enabled device, on a PDA (via Avantgo) or via a new offline laptop version that you download directly to your computer. You’ll need to register (free) to activate the software. You can search JiWire using several criteria, including airport code, country, city, zip code/post code. It’s also possible to expand your search by finding locations within a certain radius of a location. A results page includes the wi-fi provider name and pricing info. The site also includes a wi-fi glossary. A bit more about the company here.
