Fla. rest stops to become Wi-Fi hot spots
Rest stops to become Wi-Fi hot spots
Roadside welcome centers, rest stops and weigh stations along major Florida roads will be Internet stops in addition to pit stops under a transportation department plan. The Florida Department of Transportation is planning to install between 50 and 60 Wi-Fi hot spots at roadside facilities. The free hot spots will be along major roads like I-95 and Florida's Turnpike. Department officials are in talks with Austin-based Coach Connect, which provides a similar service in Oregon and Washington and at RV parks nationwide. A department spokesman said the service will not cost the state or motorists anything and that the company will make its money off advertising. Users will be kept to a 30-minute time limit. You better surf that pr0n fast! Those are pretty good numbers 50-60 of the states 83 rest-stops and 22 weigh stations. Think MikeP was doing some wifi already @ a couple weigh stations.

I'm beting its simpler then that, but the MAC change would be the fastest.
IF they install wifi @ any of the 4 stops near me I'll play ![]() Wonder what filters they will use?

I read the specs in the RFP and we decided to pass. FDOT wants someone to build a very tight network with several layers of redundancy, maintain it statewide wide with very tight response time contracts, squeeze out a little profit, and turn over most of the money to FDOT. I'm not sure how everyone is going to make money and still give the service away. That is a hell of a lot of advertising in a 30 minute window. Especially when you either cut the car off and sit in a hot parking lot, or you run the car and a/c at $3 a gallon. I see another boondogle that will quietly go away after everyone involved has lost their ass. I prefer working the projects that I can show a clear business case for, that help the state save my tax dollars. (And give me back a few of them.) MikeP

I can see something like this workin` at the turnpike plazas. Most are nice enough you wouldn't mind luggin the laptop in while you had a free OJ and watch tourons wonder aimlessly. Catch is make it $5.95 a day(24 hour period) `I`d be willing to pay that in pinch. A lot of Truck stops offer wifi and are respectable now
So not much fear of a lot lizard acosting you as you surf goatse or hottruckerbabes.com

After about 20 minutes and him starting to snore really good, I heard a knock. Over the doghouse I went, landed on Dad's private parts as I rolled behind him. He jumped up in pain. I told him someone knocked and he looked out. What did he see? A lot Lizard asking if he wanted a date. As he held his pain in he told her no and to just go away. Yep, That was my first encounter with a "Woman of the night" at 11 years of age. You know, it took a few months for me to get my father to explain what a Lot Lizard was after he kept telling that story to friends. I figure you all would enjoy that story.

Looks like Wa DOT (we call it "whiz dot",) is going the rest area Wifi route as well. http://www.wsdot.wa.gov/biz/restareas/wifi.htm The one I saw up between Bellingham and Mt. Vernon on I-5 had a Hughes.net link and a few omni antennas on the roof. The price for going out to the "non free" sites looks a bit steep to me.

After all, 169.254.x.x is the Windows auto-assigned address for those without network connectivity.
