This tropical island off the east coast of Africa is best-known for its white-sand beaches, its designer clothing outlets and its spicy curries.
But tiny Mauritius is about to stake a new claim to fame. By year's end, or soon afterward, it is expected to become the world's first nation with coast-to-coast wireless Internet coverage, the first country to become one big "hot spot."

My local library is a wi-fi hotspot and it's free! I couldn't grasp it at first... I go in with my lappy, sit down and surf with no wires! How do they do that? That is magic!
I'm often easily amused but wi-fi is just amazing (especially when it's free).

They are not really the first... the small island of Niue launched nationwide wireless access back in 2003 (see article on Businesswire.com)... but sure, they might be the first to have nationwide wireless that's not free of charge since Niue provides free internet access (both dialup and wireless)
