(Reuters) – Cyber security watchdogs and researchers are issuing warnings over risks associated with a widely used system for securing Wi-Fi communications after the discovery of a flaw that could allow hackers to read information thought to be encrypted, or infect websites with malware. An alert from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security Computer Emergency […]
As we incorporate Wi-Fi we must get more sophisticated, says a new paper from Openet. The challenge, though, is that customers are already used to using Wi-Fi, it is normally free and therefore moving it into a money making model will be difficult. Research conducted by App Annie late last year revealed that Wi-Fi accounts […]
A new legal opinion from the European Court of Justice (ECJ) could topple Germany’s tight restrictions on free Wi-Fi—and internet service providers say it might also help boost the number of free Wi-Fi points across Europe. In an opinion issued yesterday (16 March), ECJ top lawyer Maciej Szpunar wrote that businesses that offer free internet […]
Have you ever had issues with your home internet connection, Wi-Fi or new devices that simply won’t connect or stop working altogether? What is your first response – look up the service manual, Google it or call your service provider? Like me, you have probably tried all the above at some stage but when the […]
BARCELONA, (Reuters) – A move by cellphone operators to use airwaves freely available in the same bandwidth as Wi-Fi networks has raised concerns that consumers’ home Internet service could be disrupted, along with connected devices such as security monitoring systems.

Apparently when it comes to Wi-Fi, it is like the Wild West out there. A recent study, reported by Telecoms.com, cites Xcellair, a company whose mission is to maximise the mobile mish-mash of networks for mobile operators. They found, refreshingly in their own offices, that Wi-Fi as an intelligent offload technology is deeply flawed. It […]
LONDON/FRANKFURT (Reuters) – Passengers on European short-haul flights are to be offered high-speed internet access using a combined satellite and air-to-ground network to be built by Britain’s Inmarsat and Deutsche Telekom. The platform will cater for travellers in Europe, which includes some of the highest density air-traffic routes in the world, and provide levels of […]
You would have thought that getting online in a public building would be easy. With Wi-Fi now in planes, trains and automobiles, something that does not move would surely be a simple thing to cover. Either the building itself can provide Wi-Fi access or a WiFi network such as Boingo should take up the challenge, or an operator […]
The Whole Sort of General Mish Mash of Things is emerging. It seemed for some time as if there would be a weird sort of battle between competing access technologies. There is Wi-Fi and 2G and 3G, 4G and 5G. Who knows, it is highly likely, knowing us, that no sooner has 5G landed but 6G […]
