The news on wi-fi in libraries continues to increase:

• Today's FT has an article In the clouds over municipal Wi-Fi, which is on municipal use generally, but nods in the direction of libraries
• A PR press release on new developments in Kent.
• Hingham library tech trends for 2005, includes news on wi-fi applications.

And, as for Firefox's increasing share of the browser market - as a result of now having better log analysis on the University of Sheffield's servers, I see that the share taken by 'Netscape' - including Mozilla and Firefox, has gone like this, over October, November and December, 2004.

	Oct.	Nov.	Dec.
Internet Explorer	82.44%	82.90%	77.42%
'Netscape'	8.72%	9.61%	9.93%

It'll be interesting to see what the end of January brings.
