There’s now free WiFi on the Hiiumaa Ferry!

Thanks to Veljo Haamer and his band of WiFi minions, there’s now free WiFi on the Hiiumaa ferry, a journey that takes an hour-and-a-half to complete from the mainland.

It works via a long-range EVDO modem, connected to a WiFi access point, and provides free Internet access in the on-board restaurant. It took Veljo and two assistants just a short couple of hours to get the new maritime access point set up this morning.

I never cease to be amazed at the level of technological enthusiasm in this country.
