Are there many wifi sites available in Italy where you
can use the internet access available on the Ipod touch?
Lynn,
There seems to be an increasing number of Hostels and Hotels that are providing Wi-Fi, but at the moment I don't have any specific information. You might want to check the websites of the lodgings you'll be using, as they normally indicate whether they offer Wi-Fi. In some cases, Hotels provide a shared internet computer in the Lobby, for use by Hotel guests. Some Hostels have internet facilities on site.
In my experience, some locations provide free Wi-Fi and others charge a small fee for this. Note that in Italy, users of the internet must be registered, normally using Passport information.
Happy travels!
