Don't you need electricity for Wi-Fi?

Some of dose new fangled thingamabobs have something in them that holds
a charge so dat the thingy works. I think dey call it a 'bat tree' or
sumpin like dat.

There was a good bit on the news this morning. One of those 'jaded,
hardnosed, selfish' New Yorkers who had power in Manhattan set up a
couple picnic tables on the postage stamp lawn- ran some extension
cords out- and put up a sign 'free phone charging and wi-fi' [or words
to that effect.] There were a dozen or so folks hanging out there-
and twice that many devices plugged into the spider web of cords and
splitters getting charged up.
