Does WeatherBug have constant “Open Access” to the Internet?

WeatherBug does not have constant “open” access to the Internet. WeatherBug does not act like a server in any way and does not accept Internet connections. WeatherBug regularly “polls” for weather information using the http protocol (tcp/ip port 80). In this way, the WeatherBug acts just like a Web browser in that it queries a Web server for data that it displays.
