Default Computer Help - Free Public Wifi
Have anyone seen "Free Public Wifi" in their Windows wireless newtorks display? I did some poking around and found this?

I've seen a lot of people talking about it but no one has an answer.

some areas are offering free wireless internet to residents. the county i live in is going to have it available within the next year. you get DSL camparable speeds for free or can pay to recieve the higher speed internet.

Minneapolis is getting this now. Only US Internet is requiring you to get their propietary wireless card.

Anyone know why it would be listed as an adhoc connection?
