Estonia Embraces Wi-Fi Wireless Internet Access
securitas writes "BBC Technology's Clark Boyd reports on one man's efforts to make free 802.11 Wi-Fi wireless Internet access ubiquitous in Estonia. An estimated two-thirds of Estonia is now covered by wireless hotspots according to Veljo Haamer, who convinced Estonia's major oil companies, Neste and Statoil, to install free hotspots at gas stations. Two-thirds of Estonia's approximately 280 public hotspots are free to use, all of which are marked with signs. But Haamer still wardrives for dead-spots and next plans to get free wireless access to public parks and green spaces. Last year Slashdot covered Estonia's legislation declaring Internet access a human right."
we're supposed to have the best of everything at the mere cost of selling our souls. So how come I don't get free wireless internet?
Sadly, souls aren't the valued commodity they once were. Too many people selling, the market is over-supplied. Now mini-iPods, you sell yours, you'll get your free wireless...

Countries of Vatican and Luksemburg quickly followed the lead and covered their respective territories by Wi-Fi access points. One per country.
My other Beowulf cluster is... er...
This is America, we're supposed to have the best of everything
You don't have the best of everything. We've got stuff here in Europe you don't:
1) Yummy chocolate.
2) Castles! Real ones! We've got lots of them!
And, erm. That's it. But isn't that enough?
Bet you're jealous about the castles...
