One Family's Summer WiFi Road Trip

From MuniWireless.com:
Many people can't live without Internet access these days so if you are going on a road trip in the family RV, what do you do? Read this account by Richard and Angela Hoy about their trip through Michigan (thanks to Glenn Fleishman for posting a short piece about this). They stopped in Grand Haven, Michigan and used the Ottawa Wireless city-wide network. I have written about Ottawa Wireless and it appears their network is working very well. They charge $4.99 per day with special rate for those who are staying for three or seven days. With more people using Wi-Fi, it amazes me to read about news such as this one posted by Glenn: DoCoMo Wi-Fi phones won't work at hotspots. Do you think other handset manufacturers see a market opportunity here?
I was pleasantly surprised on our trip down to Athens. The trip down was without a connection, but once we arrived, ACEnet's Marketplace was wireless, and so were a number of businesses near the OU campus. The cabin we stayed in wasn't, and if you own a bed and breakfast, I'd suggest putting in broadband and an access point for us business travellers who don't like staying in hotels...
