Mobile Internet

This is literally taking the concept of mobile Internet one step further. The next time you are in a RapidPenang bus that's whizzing through the state, you may be able to whip out your mobile device to surf the Internet or check on your emails.

I just saw a news item in theSun yesterday that said that all the RapidPenang buses will be decked with free WiFi facility by June this year.

How they will do it, well, I shall leave the technical details to them. The devil's in the details. All I can say is, congratulations to the people running RapidPenang. If they can pull it off - without another chorus of protests from well-meaning but self-deceived activists and concerned citizens, of course - it will be another step forward towards making Penang a totally wirelessly wired state.
