Hot Spots - Google Lab 2 - Kimberly Kim

Don't you love having access to the Internet away from your home? Hot spots help enable this experience. A hot spot is site that offers wireless internet connection. Establishments that offer this service of wireless local area network are places such as coffee shops, certain institutes, and other places that post-up the Wi-Fi sign. With the technology we have today, we are able to receive Wi-Fi in just about any place, even hospitals and on travel buses and such.

You can use any device such as your phone, computer, or tablet to connect to the Internet. A hot spot just does not offer Wi-Fi without connecting to anything. You must have a router connection that connects to an Internet service provider. There are two types of hot spots: free and commercial. The free spots enable you to have free wireless access while the commercial type requires some sort of security log-in or charges for the use of wireless access.
