WiFi in Beijing — part 2
December 3, 2008
I like Native Beijing because you can order results by proximity to your current location. A search of wifi near the place I’m going to be living produced the aptly named Beer Mania as the closest location. I’m just saying . . . sounds like a good omen.
Wifi in Beijing
November 16, 2008
Trying to find out how much there is.
An endeavor somewhere between “discover the secrets of the Forbidden City” and “unlock the iPhone.”
Inscrutable, to say the least. Is there . . .
a) Widespread wifi, but only really in restaurants and cafes that cater to laowai ;
b) Citywide wifi within the Third Ring Road that sprung up for the Olympics (and now requires some sort of payment); or
c) Illusory promises of the same that will devolve in practice to one bar of signal everywhere?
Stay tuned.
