Canadian Telcos Agree on WiFi Hotspot Standard

Jucius Maximus writes "As reported by Globetechnology, Canada's cellphone providers have agreed to create a common standard for their subscribers to connect to the Internet via public "hot-spots." The agreement became necessary because Canada's cellphone providers offer four different and incompatible connection technologies. The carriers will continue to vigorously compete with each other, both for customers and Wi-Fi hotspot locations, the CWTA said in a statement."

    Does anybody remember a T.V. show called "Space: Above and Beyond"? It was pretty derivative and was cancelled after one season,

    Derivative (or inspired, however you want to put it) off of the longest-running WWII-based TV series, Combat! from 1962.
