WiFi in Australia

It has been a busy month, so I’m afraid the updates on how the hotspot project has been going have been a little thin on the ground. Despite the lack of updates, there has been a flurry of activity on the maps themselves!

The has been an impressive number of hotspots being added to the Brisbane, Sydney and the Gold Coast maps. I would like to especially thank @josh909, @sonialastrega and @robertablinger for continued support contributing wifi hotspots and letting me know about it!

I’ve had a lot of interest in more information about MESH networks across Australia, both where coverage exists and how to contribute. There is some information on a community-driven wireless network at Free Australia Wireless. I am also talking to people about other MESH related projects. I’ll keep you all posted on anything that eventuates!

Another wifi map has been added, this time for the Gold Coast. Anybody in the local area, please feel free to go to town on adding wifi hotspots. You can get to the Gold Coast map via ‘The Maps’ section to the right, or directly by visiting http://goldcoast.wifi-in-australia.com.

We’ve just added our first WiFi map, for Brisbane and surrounds. Time to start adding wireless hotspots Brisbanites! It only has a small number of locations at the moment. You can get to the Brisbane map via ‘The Maps’ section to the right, or directly by visiting http://brisbane.wifi-in-australia.com. Sweet!
