Just connect
Allthough more and more people are connecting to the net through 3G network, there are plenty of WLAN hotspots around Helsinki. The City of Helsinki has a list here. Finncon task force is planning a trip to Ruoholahti to test the available connections before the con, so we will update the page as necessary.
As you can see, in Ruoholahti Hima&Sali at Kaapelitehdas offers WLAN for its customers. Ruoholahti Shopping Centre also has free WLAN. In addition at least Café Picnic advertises it provides WLAN for its customers in Helsinki.
The con hotel, Holiday Inn Helsinki City West offers free ADSL and WLAN connection to its customers.
If you left your computer at home, but would like to check your e-mails, many cafés have internet kiosks. Another good bet are libraries, especially the media library Kirjasto 10 at Elielinaukio. They have free terminals anyone can use for 30 minutes just by queuing.
