But it's not the only player on the field. Cities such as Half Moon Bay, Calif.; Athens, Ga.; and Chaska, Minn., let folks roam the wireless Web from street corners all around town.

...geekspeak, a car is just a hub that can connect with your cell phone, PDA or laptop--as long as the device includes wireless technology. Ford recently demonstrated a wi-fi-- enabled SUV that can wirelessly connect to your PC and allow you to transmit movies and MP3s to the car's entertainment system. Despite concerns about driver distraction, the satellite-radio service Sirius has plans to stream video to backseats in 2006 models, starting with cartoons and music videos.
