SF Municipal Wi-Fi Wait Grows ... San Francisco's municipal Wi-Fi project, originally proposed in 2004, is one of the most closely watched in the U.S. It would include a paid service provided by EarthLink and a slower, free service from Google Inc. The plan has run into a thicket of objections concerning privacy, health, quality of service, help for disadvantaged residents, the city's role, and the process of conceiving and approving the project. Plans elsewhere in the country, including in Philadelphia and Sacramento, California, also have run into problems and delays. ... http://tinyurl.com/2a27kt Werner Yahoo!

I think that this is a great idea and would be a great thing for the City.

It would be a selling point for the waterfront area; it would be a selling point for the merchants, and it would afford the City school students the opportunity to get on the net without paying a monthly fee.
