An entrepreneur from the University of Wisconsin is putting the mobile in mobile Internet. While wireless networks enable devices like smartphones or tablet computers to connect to the Internet from just about anywhere, service is spotty or nonexistent in many cars, trains, planes, buses and other vehicles. Suman Banerjee, an associate professor of computer sciences at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, has come up with a solution. Banerjee created WiRover, a mobile Internet service for vehicles that allows passengers to surf the Internet quickly, stream video more efficiently and without interruption, and use complicated Internet applications.
