    Wi-Fi:

    Basicially, Wi-Fi does away with cables that connect individual computers to a Local Area Network, the internet, print servers, etc.

    An interoperability certification for wireless local area network (LAN) products based on the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) 802.11 standard.

    802.11, or IEEE 802.11, is a type of radio technology used for wireless local area networks (WLANs). It is a standard that has been developed by the IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers).

    Wi-Fi , 802.11, is composed of several standards operating in different radio frequencies: 802.11b is a standard for wireless LANs operating in the 2.4 GHz spectrum with a bandwidth of 11 Mbps; 802.11a is a different standard for wireless LANs, and pertains to systems operating in the 5 GHz frequency range with a bandwidth of 54 Mbps.

    Its another way to charge you for using the net on your laptop away from home where you hookup like in internet cafes. Now they are offering free WiFi with many internet packages but you are still in effect paying for it.
