There appear to be three ways for people to take advantage of today’s Wi-Fi technology. Here they are followed by some explanations:

• A wireless local area network (LAN)
• A wireless internet service provider(WISP)
• A national WISP such as Boingo or T-Mobile

You can easily set up a wireless LAN in a home or small office, taking advantage of whatever Internet connection you might have. The cost to do this is as little as $180 for a home with two computers and an existing DSL or cable modem connection.

The wireless ISP approach provides service within the coverage area of the WISP. This article describes the services of a WISP in the Salt Lake City area. For services that might be available wherever you travel, Boingo and T-Mobile are two of the current contenders.
