The Irish Daily Star reports that Grafton Street has become the first street in Ireland where members of the public can avail of free Wi-fi. Awesome, right?

Thanks to a company known as Bitbuzz Freedom, you can now surf the net, check your emails, carry out some Facebook poking and make as many shopping-related tweets as you want – all for zero charge.
