What is This? 2

Spotted: During my first few days of orientation at Doshisha University (the home university where I'm doing my language study and taking classes), I noticed several of these signs posted in various parts of campus. At first I was not quite sure what this sign was supposed to be telling me. Lightning bolts + computer = ? Having freshly arrived from Cambodia where lightning bolts come from computers all the time, I thought it was a warning that the computer will shock you if you are not careful.


Answer: Apparently this sign is the Japanese indicator for wireless internet. I thought the universal symbol was the dot with radiating arcs coming from it, but this is what they use here in Japan.
