yeah, big question.
1. available just about everywhere.
2. it works by radio frequency-simply put-it allows different pieces of equipment to communicate without the aid of wires or cables
3. cost-no way to tell-it depends on what equipment you're talking about-this goes all the way from printers,keyboards,mice,monitors to you name it. PROBLEM all equipment must be wifi ready/compatible and your computer must also be wifi ready. then you need a wifi router. it can go from fairly cheap to pretty expensive. most newer laptops are wifi ready, most older desktops are not.

Wi-Fi chipset sales are poised to exceed 200 million units in 2006, according to new data released by In-Stat and the Wi-Fi Alliance, thanks in part to sales of some of the hottest holiday gifts for 2006. The prevalence of Wi-Fi technology in everything from notebook computers to cell phones to gaming devices has propelled worldwide sales forward again this year. Continued proliferation into phones and consumer electronics is expected to lead Wi-Fi unit sales growth to the half-billion mark by 2009.

Not asking for much, are you?
How about narrowing the question down some.
Or doing some research on your own.
