Bernie fans unite and connect.

Comcast Corp. says that it has opened to the public thousands of Wifi hotspots at train stations, parks and other areas for the DNC.

To access the Wifi network, a smart phone user or someone else with a Wifi-enabled device can select the "xfinitywifi" network and follow prompts. They then should select the "not a customer" button.

Comcast says 10,000 hotspots will be available for free to the public, though some are likely to be more conveniently located than others. To find Xfinity hotspots, search www.xfinity.com/wifi.

The Philadelphia cable and entertainment conglomerate is the official broadband sponsor and provider for the DNC. The company also is boosting Wifi capacity with two trucks it calls "Wifi on Wheels."
