A tourist-oriented ISP has set up wireless networks for sailors and other visitors on the Rideau Canal system. The Thousand Islands have IP!
Mr. Gary Clarke, owner of Sam Jakes Inn in Merrickville and President of realontario.ca, a tourism web portal, expressed his excitement about the creation of the Internet 'hot spot' in the Village. "A mobile connection capability to the Internet, at identified 'hot spots' will prove to be a great benefit to the traveling public and the growth of tourism in Eastern Ontario," said Mr. Clarke, and he went on to say that, "Many of our visitors need to stay in touch while away on vacation. The evolution and spread of the UCNet experiment in the Village of Merrickville ranks as an important idea and represents an expanded convenience for travelers the world over."
Now, where did I put my chalk?
(Thanks, Michael!)
