Flagstaff
has finally hit the big time when it comes to
having internet access available to the
public. We now have lots of places who are
offering either Hotspots or an Internet Café
within their business or civic locations. If
you are traveling though our town or are a local
resident who doesn't want to rush home to get on
the internet, you now can.
So,
what is a HotSpot? As I was calling places
around town I got the most interesting
answers. Some coffee shops wanted me to know
that their location was truly the hottest spot in
Flagstaff. But, that was not what I was
aiming for. A "HotSpot" is
simply a place that has wireless internet access
available to the public.
There
are a number of different varieties of wireless
internet access. The most common is called
WiFi and is what usually comes within a
laptop. Another form is called BlueTooth.
Both of them are very widely used when it comes to
laptops, PDA's, and other portable devices.
If neither of these options come with your
equipment, it is also usually fairly cheap to
purchase a PC Card or adapter to make it
"hot".
Through
my travels across town, phone calls, and some
suggestions from our avid readers, we have found
the following locations that you can go to
"get on the internet" in
Flagstaff. We are sure that there are more
places, and would like to encourage you to contact
us if you know of a location that we missed.
