Iowa Unwires Rest Stops

Iowa Unwires Rest Stops 02/05/2005 09:26 PM
Iowa joins a growing trend of states with large empty stretches: For traffic safety purposes, the more frequently people stop, stretch, and take their eyes off the road, the better. Adding Wi-Fi at rest stops is just one tool in that arsenal, but it's also a nice idea for tourists, truckers, and business travelers. Iowa will equip a total of 40 locations by July; 20 of them by mid-March. A trial set of eight locations had 111,000 access over seven months. Several stops are active on Interstates 35 and 80. Service will be free and operated by I-Spot....

Trains with Wi-Fi May Tempt Travelers 05/20/2004 09:53 AM
Survey says that most business travelers would opt for a train over a car or plane ride if Wi-Fi were available: Fifty percent of existing business train travelers already carry a laptop, the survey found, and most already work during train trips making calls or handling electronic files. Users would pay up to £12 (about US$20) for longer trips....

Intel's Stats on Business Travelers

Intel's Stats on Business Travelers 11/11/2003 12:58 PM
Boeing forwarded me the results of an Intel survey conducted Oct. 4 on business travel habits: Connexion by Boeing is deeply interested in these numbers, as you can imagine, and I'll fulfill the greatest wishes of a press person (whether at Intel or Boeing) by posting in full these details: In-flight connectivity is the No. 1 amenity requested by business travelers, and that demand increases continually. Seventy-five percent of business travelers carry their laptop in flight. Seventy-one percent of business travelers are convinced that Wi-Fi will enable business travelers to seize a communications advantage over their competition. While only one in 10 business travelers has tried Wi-Fi, nearly 90 percent see wireless computing in their future. When working in the office, 31 percent of business travelers reply to e-mail within one hour. When traveling, only seven percent respond within that same time frame. Thirty percent of business travelers do not respond to e-mail for 48 hours or more while on a business trip. One third of survey respondents said they have suffered significant consequences-such as missed meetings, lost revenue, irate customers, disappointed family members and even job termination-as a result of not having timely access to the Internet while on the road....

Treknologies: reviews of gear for
travelers 06/22/2005 01:49 AM
Mark Frauenfelder: Treknologies is a blog that covers equipment, books, and resources for amateur explorers. Recent posts include a round-up of portable solar chargers, and looks at GPS-based speedtrap detectors, travel guitars and ukuleles. The stuff they write about would be of interest even to people whose idea of an adventure is a walk around the block.

I run my equipment quite hard, and if you're like me then ICP's PowerFlex is the only solution that you should consider. It is constructed of lightweight, ultra-flexible CIGS solar cells and designed to take a beating. ICP produces 5, 10, 20 and 40 watt versions of the PowerFlex, all of which are capable of being daisy-chained together via plug & play side connectors. These would be great for draping over the rear of your backpack, providing you on-the-go charging of all your electronics or batteries.

CVS has introduced a new single use DVD-quality video camera system. The innovative camera allows up to 20 minutes of DVD-quality video and sound recording, as well as playback and deletion of recorded clips via a 1.4" color screen. At $30 these little cameras could be indispensable to the average adventurer or traveler. The $30 price tag and one-time use means you don't have to feel bad about strapping it to the front of a car or motorcycle--or worry about the Vietnamese humidity ruining a nicer camera.

Update: Treknologies publisher Beau Gunderson says: "I am talking to Erden Eruç tomorrow and would like to give boingboing readers a chance to ask him a few questions. Erden is the man behind Around-n-Over and the Six Summits project. He is using human power to cross six continents and the oceans between them -- and climbing the highest peaks on each of the six continents he will visit. I'm not sure how many I'll get a chance to ask but I will do my best to get the best ones answered."

Business Travelers Suspect Phone Jamming

Business Travelers Suspect Phone Jamming 09/07/2004 03:53 PM
Some business travelers suspect that hotels use illegal cell phone jammers to encourage guests to use their expensive hotel phones: It appears difficult to prove whether hotels are using such jammers but the companies selling the jammers are staying in business and they say they're selling to hotels. In the past, before my employers paid for my cell phone, I always used calling cards in hotels to avoid the exorbitant phone charges. If hotels are making it difficult for guests to use their cell phones in their rooms, perhaps business travelers will have to start using cell phones where they work and calling cards in rooms....

Wikitravel: Functional Copyleft Content
for Travelers 11/05/2003 04:06 AM
Detractors from the idea of Copyleft Content often point to the fact that non-software expression is not functional in the same way that software is, and therefore doesn't need the same user-maintenance mechanics that software does. Oh, well, except software documentation. But that's it, right? Is any other type of non-software information functional? Perhaps Wikitravel is.
