The House has gone wireless.

Anyone with a wireless-capable computer can pick up a signal now in committee rooms, public areas, etc. No registration is necessary, says Jill Chamberlin, spokeswoman for House Speaker Marco Rubio.

"When you first open your browser you will be asked to accept terms
and conditions," Chamberlin wrote in an e-mail to reporters. "Other than that, no red tape."

The Senate has not yet offered public WiFi, though it is available to the news media.
