Avis will soon be giving customers the option to have Wi-Fi service in their rental cars.
"Autonet Mobile, a start-up wireless technology company based in San Francisco, is expected to announce soon that it has reached an agreement with Avis Rent A Car System to provide an optional wireless access point - better known as a Wi-Fi hot spot - to Avis customers by March. For $10.95 a day, Avis will issue motorists a notebook-size portable device that plugs into a car's power supply and delivers a high-speed Internet connection to passengers"
While this will be a cool option for rentals, I can't help but wonder where to buy a unit for my vehicle? The thought of having Wi-Fi access anywhere I go by strategically parking my vehicle sounds to good to be true!
