ABSTRACT:
An electronic (or computer) apparatus (10) includes a wireless LAN connecting unit (11) for carrying out Internet connection via a wireless LAN (13) and an enabling arrangement (12) for enabling the wireless LAN connecting unit to carry out Internet connection at either of providing spots (hot spots) (HP#1and HP#2) which are spaces located at positions different from each other and providing wireless Internet connection services hosted by ISPs different from each other. The enabling arrangement includes a current position acquiring unit (17) for acquiring current position data representative of a current position of the computer apparatus. A current-location providing spot is identified from the current position data and the wireless LAN connecting unit is automatically adapted to an ISP different at each providing spot without the need of manually changing ISP agreement data.
