Wifi On Board Ferries
was wondering how the ferries can create wifi on board, obviously no land line connection, i could understand satelite B/band to some extent but a constantly moving/rolling ship and a recieving dish, i can't see how that would work either. are there any of you ABers out there can tell me how they do it?
