Canadian Telcos Agree on WiFi Hotspot Standard

Posted by michael on from the yay-canada dept.

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."

    well, atleast we dont have wastelands like Alabama or any southern states where one could marry their brother/sister. Oh and BTW this model for the future has a higher broadband usage rate than the states ( but thats prolly cause of our low population... )
