Warnet menawarkan biaya akses internet yang umumnya cukup murah dari Rp.3,000 s.d. Rp.7,000 per jam, kadang pake Full AC lagi.

Namun dari beberapa kali pake warnet beberapa waktu lalu, saya merasa mulai tidak nyaman sbb:

1. akses kadang lambat kadang cepat
2. panas akibat radiasi komputer (monitor dan juga CPU), hati-hati lho bisa merusak mata dan ketampanan wajah anda. penyebabnya adalah banyak warnet kan pakai monitor yang sudah bekas, yang seharusnya tidak layak pakai lagi.
3. flash disk kena virus
4. privasi kurang,  mau buka yang ‘wow’, sebelahnya anak umur 10 tahun, jadi batal deh
5. malah di beberapa warnet, ada yang ‘posting’ di blog (tapi lupa nama blognya), bahwa kadang tuh keyboard agak lengket-lengket dan bau (bekas muncrat-muncrat anak SMU) … wakakakak.  BTW, saya pernah nemu video porno bokep 3gp yang berisi adegan sepasang siswa dan siswi SMU yang lagi ML ngeseks dengan gaya gajah duduk.

Jadi mau tak mau ya terpaksa beli langganan internet XL 3.5 G atau Indosat M2. Ada yang lumayan nyaman, tapi tarifnya Rp.10,000 per jam, weleh! Oh ya saya pernah ke Bali tahun lalu, pas mau pakai warnet, glek trafinya Rp.30,000 per jam … emang gue turis asing apa!

Karena limit cepat abis kalau buka ‘Youtube’ (semalam bisa 50 s.d. 90 MB) saya coba-coba beli Indosat M2 yang unlimited (program baru) dengan biaya cukup murah, perdana Rp.150,000, selanjutnya Rp.100,000 per bulan. Kecepatan akses sbb:

• kalau pagi sampai sore seringnya lelet banget, buka yahoo saja lama amir, pokoknya bisa bikin darah tinggi
• kalau malam jam 10 an … wow lumayan cepat

Tapi kadang yang pagi cepat namun kalau sore lelet. Kalau di aturan resminya sih, sampai kuota 2 Giga, kecepatan Indosat M2 sekitar 250 kbps. Tadi pagi ngecek di speedtest.net sampai 270 kbps … ya lumayan lah.

Mungkin tidak begitu cepat karena ada hubungan dengan RAM PC yang hanya 256 DDR dan menggunakan Windows XP. Besok kalau ada uang, niatnya mau upgrade RAM DDR 1G.

APa yang anda pakai? Wifone/wimode ESIA, Speedy? TELKOMSEL FLASH? INDOSATM2? XL EXPLORER?

Saya sendiri sudah coba. Selama satu jam bandwith yang terpakai sekitar 6 MB, artinya dengan uang 99 ribu (paket XL) anda bisa ngenet 100 jam selama sebulan alias Rp. 2,000 per jam (tentunya tanpa fasilitas image/gambar dan download 3gp, MP3 dan sejenisnya). Benar juga sih kata pepatah/istilah “ada harga, ada rupa”. Mau hemat ya alakadarnya saja, browsing text saja.

For venues that have broadband service, offering wireless access is as simple as purchasing one AP and connecting the AP with the gateway box.

Hotspots are often found at restaurants, train stations, airports, libraries, hotels, hospitals, coffee shops, bookstores, fuel stations, department stores, supermarkets and other public places. Many universities and schools have wireless networks in their campus.

//History

Wi-Fi hotspots were first proposed by Brett Stewart at the NetWorld+Interop conference in The Moscone Center in San Francisco in August 1993. Stewart did not use the term ‘hotspot’ but referred to public accessible wireless LANs. Stewart went on to found the companies PLANCOM in 1994 (for Public LAN Communications, which became MobileStar and then the hotspot arm of T-Mobile) and subsequently Wayport in 1996.

The term ‘HotSpot’ may have first been advanced by Nokia about five years after Stewart first proposed the concept.

During the dot-com boom and subsequent bust in 2000, dozens of companies like WPMedia of the Rural Agriculture town of Kingstree SC had the notion that Wi-Fi could become the payphone for broadband. Although WPMedia Inc. invented, developed and patented United States Patent 7,035,281, <http://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO2&Sect2=HITOFF&p=1&u=%2Fnetahtml%2FPTO%2Fsearch-bool.html&r=1&f=G&l=50&co1=AND&d=PTXT&s1=(sc.ASST.)&s2=spearman.INNM.&OS=AS/sc+AND+IN/spearman&RS=AS/sc+AND+IN/spearman>. Retrieved on 20 September 2007 the concept of authenication, metering and billing for public domain WiFi use, the company’s implementation never expanded beyond a few hundred square miles. The original notion was that users would pay for broadband access at hotspots and then expand to a completely roaming network. Although some companies like T-mobile, and Boingo have had some success with charging for access, over 90% of the over 300,000 hotspots offer free service to entice customers to their venue.^{[citation needed]}

Free hotspots continue to grow. Wireless networks that cover entire cities, such as municipal broadband have mushroomed. MuniWireless reports that over 300 metropolitan projects have been started.

Many business models have emerged for hotspots. The final structure of the hotspot marketplace will ultimately have to consider the intellectual property rights of the early movers; portfolios of more than 1000 allowed and pending patent claims are held by some of these parties.

Berikut artikel yang saya temukan di internet:

FREE HotSpots are a convenient, easy way to use broadband
internet access service. Using wireless technology (Wi-Fi), you can access the internet at any of the thousands of FREE access points (HotSpots)in an increasing number of places such as cafés, hotels, restaurants and retail centers around the world.

Kalau cara mengeset WIFI di Laptop saya kurang tahu.

In the real-world stability test, several music songs and three-minute streaming movie clips were transferred to the LG HSDPA. The trial speeds reached up to 1.4 megabits per second (mbps) but Nortel has demonstrated up to 14.4 mbps on commercially-available HSDPA equipment.

HSDPA’s network throughput is estimated to be five times faster than current commercial 3G networks, it’s speed is comparable to broadband DSL or ADSL service.

“Based on the success of our interoperability program, I expect Nortel to be the first to market with a complete, end-to-end HSDPA solution with integrated consumer devices,” said Peter MacKinnon, president, GSM/UMTS, Nortel.

A UMTS network infrastructure from Nortel and an LG HSDPA handset will be slated for commercial availability in late 2005. Samsung also announced plans to unveil an HSDPA handset at Cebit 2005 in Germany from March 10-16.
