Wi-Fi Rose Marx

Wi-Fi - Rose Marx
Wi-Fi Alliance or Wi-Fi as most people know it is trademarked. It is used to brand products belonging to the class of wireless local area network (WLAN). IEEE 802.11 is the most commonly used WLAN technology used today. Wi-Fi devices are frequently installed in video game consoles, MP3 players and other electronic items. Devices with Wi-Fi capability are able to connect to the internet when they are within the range of a wireless network.
Wi-Fi is available for home use, but most commonly is used in public places of commerce as an incentive to draw and keep customers. It is also offered at some hotels, airports, Amtrak and a variety of other public places. Panera Bread and Starbucks are two more popular establishments that offer Wi-Fi. Wi-Fi Internet Connection is also available via cellular networks at a cost.
The first wireless internet network was built in Pittsburgh, PA at the campus of Carnegie Mellon University.

On a side note, American Hi-Fi is a semi popular music band from the early 2000's, Flavor of the Weak (not misspelled) probably being the best known song from them.
