2 new wireless points and FatPort coming to TO

Good news...

2 more points in the city, way up north (Jane & 401), and off Park Lawn and Lakeshore Blvd... Maps have been updated too. See the CAPs area for the new points...

Also look for some FatPort access in Toronto soon, too. FatPort is coming here and setting up some new access points... Check out Fatport to see what they've done in Vancouver. Looks way cool.

"It can be compared with going to someone's house and they have a really nice CD collection so you go thorough it and want to listen to some of it while you're there," he explained.

"It's the same idea. You're in the general area of someone else's bandwidth and as long as that person says it's ok, then what's wrong with sharing it?" he asked.
