| What is Wireless Internet
(WiFi)????
You and millions of other people around the world use the Internet
every day -- to communicate with others, follow the stock market,
keep up with the news, check the weather, make travel plans, conduct
business, shop, entertain yourself and learn. Staying connected
has become so important that it's hard to get away from your Internet
connection because you might miss a message, an update on your stock
or some news you need to know.
With your business or your personal life growing more dependent
on electronic communication over the Internet, you might be ready
to take the next step and get a device that allows you to access
the Internet on the go. Imagine sitting in the local coffee shop
down town and checking your e-mail, or sitting in the parking lot
at your local Wal-Mart store browsing the Internet.
This can be accomplished with midsouth.com's 2.4GHz or 900MHz Wireless
Internet Service and a portable computer such as a Notebook or PDA.
There are no phone lines needed for Wireless Internet, only an antenna
on your house or a WiFi card in your portable computer.
Midsouth.com has began to deploy Internet Hotspots all around in
the Monroe County area in October of 2003, and have set a goal to
have a total of 20 Hot Spots by Jan 1, 2005. Wireless Internet also
operates at speeds up to 30% faster than DSL, and 3 times faster
than cable modem making it the fastest service available. Whether
you're on the go, or just need a high speed connection for your
home or business, Wireless is the best Internet Service available
today.
