Douglas Heingartner, of The New York Times, did a nice job writing “Roving the Globe, Laptops Alight on Wireless Hot Spots in today’s Circuits. In addition to a comprehensive discussion about how and where people are using WiFi around the world, he included a nice sidebar entitled Eureka: Prospecting for Internet Access which provides a good reference to finding WiFi access. Some of the sites Douglas highlighted included hotspot-locations.com, wi-fizone.org and boingo.com. He pointed out that it is worth checking all three, because their listings may not overlap. For noncommercial networks, he suggested wififreespot.com. The most exotic listings may be at nodedb.com, which includes a large database of WiFi nodes with maps showing the locations.
