Municipal Wi-Fi: Not A Matter of "If", but "When"

The Wi-Fi fever that I caught a few weeks ago is still raging, with no signs of abating!

I've been reading a lot of exciting news about municipal Wi-Fi this week. People want it, and they want it bad, and local governments want to provide it. But municipal Wi-Fi has some powerful enemies, i.e. the telecommunications industry and the cable TV industry: these industries stand to lose some serious profits if local governments start offering cheap and free wireless access to the Internet. But cheap and free Internet access is good, and it's right; it'll help to close the digital divide, and should also cause the price for wired broadband service to come down. My guess is that municipal Wi-Fi is a snowball that's just starting to tumble down the hill; it will quickly grow into a massive and unstoppable force that not even those highly paid lobbyists on Capital Hill can do anything about. Viva municipal Wi-Fi!

Here a list of some related names I registered today:

MunicipalWi-Fi.us

Wi-FiSafety.com
Wi-FiSafety.info

I think, personally, municipal wi-fi is, or should be, where this country is headed.. it's smart, but more than that, it's inevitable!

Wow, that sounds cool.

Have you been using the service? Have you been able to get online with it? Did Orleans raise taxes to pay for it? Let us know!
