How do I know this? Because I am blogging from one now. Ulusoy provides wireless Internet free of charge for the length of the trip (or more accurately the stregnth of you battery). I’m currently on the 5 hour bus ride from Ankara to Istanbul and I’ve seen about 5-6 other people with their laptops out. Most are on MSN Messenger (quite popular in Europe) while the rest are watching – I suspect – pirated copies of Lost.
The net is slow for a many things, great for casual surfing and not the best for creating hyperlinks and adding images to blog posts. Also, don’t foget to beware of computer-to-computer connections.
Maybe bus Internet prompted Avis to get on board?
