(AP) - Visitors to the North Beach Campground can now surf the Web while toasting marshmallows over the fire. The area is the latest in Burlington that allows the technologically equipped access to the Internet without being plugged into any other device or outlet. Burlington-based Soundtivity Wireless already provides wireless Internet access - often called WiFi - to Church Street and the city's waterfront, and will expand within the next few weeks to Shelburne Shipyard. Access is available for a fee per day, week or month. "A lot of people want to get out of the house and tour the country, but they still want connectivity to the outside world," said Jeremy Ward, chief executive of Soundtivity. Campers gave the service - which started up over the Fourth of July weekend - mixed reviews. "I usually think of vacation as being away from my computer," said Dean Larson of Hanover, Mass. Debbie Weston of Huntington said wireless Internet could allow campers to stay on the road longer because they wouldn't miss important communications and news. _______________________________________________ BAWUG's general wireless chat mailing list [unsubscribe] http://lists.bawug.org/mailman/listinfo/wireless
