Today the Business 2.0 Blog reported that there are 5,712 free WiFi hotspots around the world according to JiWire. One of them happens to be located at Granger Community Church. And, that’s what led to the unusual call this afternoon.

Several months ago our very capable communications team sent out a press release talking about the use of wireless access at Granger and specifically how we’ve incorporated that into our Saturday Night eXtras. That led to an interview I did with an Indiana business magazine. Then the Saturday Evening Post picked up the story.

Today we received a call from Andrea, a reporter from Marketplace, the business news programming for National Public Radio. She was doing a story on the growth and impact of WiFi and was interested in how we are using WiFi at the church. So, sometime tomorrow, you may hear Andrea and me on your local NPR station talking about WiFi at Granger Community Church.

In case you are wondering, I thought it was a fairly decent interview…all things considered. (I thought you needed a little bit of NPR humor.) Let me know if you actually hear the report.

UPDATE: Here’s the link to the Marketplace Morning Report story that was broadcasted this morning on NPR. You’ll need Real Player to listen to the audio file.
