Wifi works in a similar fashion as tv's and cell phones. A computer fitted wit ha wireless adapter converts data into radio waves that then transmits over an antenna. The data is then picked up by a wireless router, decoded and sent to the internet.

How come on the iPhone you have to pay for the internet whereas on the ipod touch you don't?

To use the Internet on the ipod Touch you have to link to a WiFi service (which may cost you - or you may have a free service in a coffee shop or at home). If you are not in range of a WiFi connection you can not connect to the internet except through a PC USB connection. With the iPhone you are provided with an EXTRA means of connecting to the Internet, that is through the phone service provider's clephone/data link. This private connection to the internet through your mobile provider is charged for. However I belive that that iPhone can also be configured to link to the internet via WiFi (like the Touch) if you are in range of a WiFi service.
