The term WIFI does not specifically mean anything. It is a wireless networking standard which means that devices WIFI certified will communicate with each other. It does NOT mean Wireless Free Internet!
In fact it has nothing to do with internet. The only way you can get on the internet via WIFI is by connecting to a wireless router in your home which is connected via ADSL broadband OR by connecting to a wireless HOT SPOT in (as mentioned) McDonalds,Gloria Jeans or a hotel which offers WiFi (free or paid). ALL laptops made in the last 3 or so years will have WiFi (wireless networking) built in.

Cheers,

John
