Wi-Fi Planet has an article[1] that investigates if and when New York
City will have a unbiquitous Wi-Fi network. The article, however, is
a clear misrepresentation of reality.
Inexplicably, they have failed to even mention the dozen or so public
hotspots that NYCwireless has helped create in New York City’s parks
and other public spaces, including Bryant Park, Union Square Park,
City Hall Park, and the South Street Seaport.
By leaving out this information, the article gives the false
impression that New York City doesn’t have a vibrant community of
people who, though community wireless and non-profit means, have
given free Wi-Fi to a sizable percentage of residents. Gerry
Blackwell, the author, implies that New York could only gain some
form of Wi-Fi network through municipal or solely private investment.
NYCwireless has proven over the past five years that community and
non-profit means should be a component of any such network, and that
as a non-profit, we’ve done more for the development of Wi-Fi in this
city than private companies and government agencies combined.
