Hehe, I am at a local Starbucks browsing the Internet! I just verified that I can log on to Interactive Brokers as well as my other brokers!! Hmmm, I wonder if anyone would mind if traded spoos from Starbucks and I had my squawk blasting continously? nitro
Ugh, Too bad, they close in five minutes. I got some PM's. Here are the details: I am in Chicago. About 75% of all SB have Internet access here. All I did was go into a Starbucks, get a brochure from T-Mobile. Set my wireless 802.11b SSID to tmobile. Make sure you do dhcp and also get DNS servers from the dchp server as well. Once it is working, the browser automatically takes you to the t-mobile website, http://www.t-mobile.com/hotspot. Once there, you can choose three plans. I chose the promotional plan that allows me to use the Internet in for one twenty four hour period. I chose "pay as you go" plan just to test it out. Later, I can upgrade to the "unlimited" plans. Apparently, they have this at airports and other public places. nitro
I can't believe you'll be able to trade only with a laptop. You'll need to bring your whole office in... Maybe pay them extra tip to give you permission to setup 8 moniters in the middle of the store...
nitro, you better be careful with www.t-mobile.com . it´s a daughter of www.t-online.de , one of those `old Europe´communications enterprises, wholly owned by giant Deutsche Telekom with a customer base of 100 million customers http://www.telekom.de/dtag/home/portal/0,14925,10994,00.html . i am a customer of t-online Schweiz http://www1.t-online.ch/ when in Switzerland.
... Or in the town where I have one of my offices you can just log onto the free wireless system that broadcasts downtown while sitting in a park (70 degrees or so in california now)......
