Tune in, turn on, and browse to your heart's content without forking it over to The Man. Some of us may remain technologically challenged, but no one can deny the democratic satisfaction of free Internet access. Welcome to the Wi-Fi world order, courtesy of the tech-activist pioneers responsible for the following Web directories, which, of course, are also available for free to you, me, and the voters of Florida. www.austinwirelesscity.org/hotspot-list.php comes to us from the Austin Wireless City Project, a nonprofit entity which assists managers of public spaces in providing wireless hotspots gratis. It features maps and links to locations' Web sites. www.auscillate.com/wireless/austin features user comments and maps. www.ilovefreewifi.com features maps, user comments, and state-by-state directories. www.wi-fihotspotlist.com/browse/us/2000239/2043315 bills itself as "The definitive WiFi Hotspot Directory." It offers a less comprehensive directory than the other sites but does provide links to locations' Web sites. It also features national directories for airports and RV/campground sites.
