Small island unwires: The island nation of Niue (pronounced new-eh, with a long A sound) now offers free Wi-Fi for all and sundry. Most yachts visit during what is described as "non-cyclone season." (I have a fond spot for Niue, which is the country through which I registered the domain for isbn.nu way back when I needed a short and sweet unencumbered name.) [via TechDirt]
