I came across a Kapampangan blog site last night while surfing the net and saw the invitation about this blogging event here in SM Pampanga. Have been staying in Angeles since Thursday for few days vacation and the lack of thing to do this Saturday morning made me decided to go and visit my favourite mall here in Central Luzon. Also, the growing numbers of Kapampangan bloggers and the plan of having a bloggers circle here in Pampanga is such an interesting invitation.
After the prior successful Wi-Fi service launches in other SM Malls in the past few months like SM Marikina, SM The Block, The Podium, the one in Clark and others malls around the country. Now, I'm here at the Free Wi-Fi bloggers' event at the newly constructed additional wing of the mall. SM Pampanga has finally joined the roster of malls in the country that provide free Wi-Fi access to its customers. Almost 20 fellow Kapampangan bloggers are now connected on-line. Mall visitors can also now be connected anytime within the mall free of charge.
Different bloggers convened in this part of the newly constructed wing to test the mall's Wi-Fi signal strength. I brought my laptop and iPhone to the event. The connection strength was excellent in my laptop that I was even able to download a free version of Avira antivirus at high speed. The connection via my iPhone was very good, too. Using my iPhone, I updated my Twitter friends about the blogging event and even updating them of my activities while having coffee inside a coffee shop. I just hope that they are all here to try and experience the free Wi-Fi service and even join the event.

Nowadays, a company that supports free Wi-Fi access is one of their methods to draw publicity and increase foot traffic. For example "If you're in the hotel business and you have a 50 percent occupancy rate, how are you going to fill up more rooms?" The solution is.... "In the '60s, it was put a sign out front that says 'Air conditioning.' In the '70s, it was cable. In the '90s, it was HBO. Now it will be Wi-Fi."
Wi-Fi hot-spots are everywhere to be found these days. People flock these hot-spots to study or even just to be connected to your online friends while even inside the mall. We are now in the new era of technology where we need to be connected anytime of the day.
