Miami Beach residents and visitors will soon be able to go surfing, not just in the water, but into another realm. The only board needed will be a computer with a wireless card to catch the free unlimited internet waves.

The City of Miami Beach entered into an agreement with IBM to install a secure citywide wireless broadband network, also known as WiFi (wireless fidelity), to support public safety and other government use and also provide free hot zones citywide for public access. A pilot program was tested and everyone should look forward to the citywide installation and coverage.
