Walking Hotspot

[isaac obie]

Sabaruddin,
Is that your first name? :) :) Hotspots would be a place where computer 
connections to the internet are located such as airports, Starbucks, hotels, 
libraries. So a walking hotspot would be just walking past those places. I 
can't wait to get my N82. :) :)
