Have you ever giggled at a creatively named wifi network? They’re
becoming quite the trend, according to CNET. You won’t see any Belkins
or Netgears around here, either – we’ve got a “Petra”, a “PWireless”,
“warehouse”, and even “FBI Surveillance Van” (don’t ask). Increasingly,
people are using them to pass along messages – everything from “Stop
slamming the door!” to “Please stop that barking dog!”
It’s not quite anonymous if you live in a small town, but in places
like downtown OKC, you might pick up as many as 10-15 wireless networks
at once. Folks are even starting to get political with it, with wifi
networks popping up in support – or against – the owner’s chosen
political candidate.
Pretty interesting stuff… I might go home and change my network’s name, myself!
