Internet On Highways And Why Pattaya Has More Than 10000 + Ap's

[JakeBKK]

Did you guys knew that Cat telecom bombarded the sukumvit highway with access points.?

Anyhow here is a current but by far from complete access point ( wifi /3g DTAC) map of chonburi.

Here is Bang Saray:

Jomtien:

A look towards walking street:

So far, the count is a bit over 10000 How about you join in ? Download and install WiGLE on your smartphone.

Wiggle can save data as KML ( that works with google earth and maps) A TV Thailand Network map sounds kinda useful or does it not?

I did just a very basic scan around my condo (Central Pattaya) and I came up with around 15 AP's, and that's just in a very small area. BTW is there a way to opt out, like with Google to put _nomap in your access points name ?

Look here : http://support.google.com/maps/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=1725632 and select How Do I Opt Out

haven't thought about that one. but wouldn't it be more easy to simply hide your SSID? than there would be no need for a opt-out in the first place?

That's an option, but this is good reading material about this.
