The service, T-Mobile Hotspot, currently provides high-speed wireless Internet access in more than 1,600 locations in the United States, including airports and more than 1,200 Starbucks cafes. The service lets people access the signal via laptops or handheld computers equipped with a wireless card.
Most cell phone carriers such as T-Mobile are now embracing Wi-Fi, also known as 802.11b, for their wireless networks. The networking technology is used to create Internet access through the air within a radius of about 300 feet from a Wi-Fi device.
