In urban environments, wireless Internet access is an easy find for anyone with a notebook or handheld computer that supports the wireless LAN protocol known as Wi-Fi. The term "Hotspot" has become a part of the public lexicon, referring to a place where a user can connect to a public Wi-Fi network. There are more than 150,000 Wi-Fi hotspots worldwide today. Some of these, namely municipal hotspots, span entire cities. In coffee shops, hotels, airport terminals and libraries, public Wi-Fi hotspots are increasingly becoming commonplace. Hotspots are convenient, but there are safety risks that come with using them. Some are safer than others, and they should be used cautiously.
