From Bradley Mitchell, your Guide to Computer Networking
You may hear some people refer to it as Metal Watch, but MetaWatch is the correct name. Is this going to be the Next Big Thing in portable hotspots? Um, don't think so.

What Is a Hotspot?
A hotspot is any location where Wi-Fi network access (usually Internet access) is made publicly available. You can often find hotspots in airports, hotels, coffee shops, and other places where business people tend to congregate... .

Wireless Networks for Governments Only
Maybe Lackawanna County in Pennsylvania will be interested in buying some of those MetaWatches for the government employees who will be lining up to use their shiny new Wi-Fi "for members only" hotspots.

Finding and Using Wi-Fi Hotspots
Those of us without MetaWatches - fear not - there are other ways to find and tap into wireless hotspots.

Security Controls for Home Automation
From remote video surveillance to management of window and door locks, automation technology allows homeowners to more effectively maintain security outside and inside their residence.
