Internet connectivity is still a challenge in the world as a whole. Subscribing for data plans and stuff at times can be uhm, not so favorable to your pockets. So many people opted to hooking up to WiFi hotspots around them, which gave rise to another problem: most of them are password protected.
Hackers have been doing some research on bypassing these security measures and have succeeded to an extent but the main solution making waves right now is a user driven network where users upload passwords of WiFi networks they've connected to then the system creates a map of these WiFi networks and their passwords.
So in essence, if this network grows big enough, we'll you might be able to hook up almost any WiFi network for free. For all those who have to pay good money for their data plans, I suggest you change your WiFi passwords regularly ;). Share this post(at your discretion). Download the app for Android here.From all indications, this is limited to Android users only(I stand to be corrected though), If you see a link for iOS or Blackberry or even Windows Phone, feel free to share!
