| − | '''WiFi'' is a form of wireless internet access. WiFi is different from cellular internet access in that it is delivered via ''hotspots'' and is usually limited to specific areas, like hotels, hospitals, restaurants, airports, airplanes, cruise ships, libraries, schools and universities, retail stores, shopping malls, and apartment complexes, but in some regions, WiFi may cover entire cities. To access WiFi, one must have a device capable of accessing the signal, like a laptop, mobile phone, or portable gaming device. | + | '''WiFi'' is a form of wireless internet access.
