Good question..... I wonder why they skipped it. They mentioned electric bills , and skipped internet data plan.

From the little know I have not seen mining via Wi-Fi. I know of a country where everybody is using Wi-Fi, is it possible to mine in such a place?

Mining doesn't need to send much data, so it shouldn't matter at all whether you use wi-fi or dialup etc.

Normally you use a computer, so all of those if you add a wifi adapter. If you have some kind of ethernet-only machine then use an external device (like another computer, or a router, or a raspberry pi) to turn wifi into ethernet.
