Thus, allowing people to sit in a cafe, and instead of chatting to one another, they can surf the web, download tunes to their MP3 players, or, of course, e-mail. Do everything by chat to the person you went out for coffee with. Great.

It is a good idea.

Within one year all of downtown Copenhagen will be wireless.
