all aboard the wi-fi train. free wi-fi for MBTA usersA company called WAAV and the MBTA (the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority) are putting Wi-Fi on commuter trains.  This access will be provided for free.  All of this will be completed in 2009.

WAAV is using 3G connections, so that ought to be decent enough to get your Internet-fix while you try to ignore the passenger next to you.  WAAV is claiming that they can provide “Proportional Bandwidth” to prevent one person from slowing down the entire network.  I hope NY adds the same service soon.
