San Fran Mayor Declares Wireless for All

arvind s. grover writes "San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom stated yesterday in his state of the city address that every San Francisco resident will have free wireless internet access. They don't seem to have much set up yet, and no proposal was laid out for the installation of access points in every nook and cranny of the city. I wonder what vendor is going to get that contract...You might be better off finding a wireless node using NodeDB or this oddly-titled site: cheesebikini."

Looks like another tax hike ...

Good idea and San Francisco is a great place to visit, but shouldn't they do something to help the unemployed and homeless in that town?

What do mean? The Mayor gave them free WiFi! FREE!
They don't even need the cardboard sign that says, "Will work for bandwidth", anymore.

Seriously, what more do they need?

Well looky here.

This will help the homeless. Now they won't have to buy an expensive latte while getting their Internet access.

So when the RIAA try some more lawsuits...

[N3koFever]

...does the population of San Francisco get sued?

"...every nook and cranny" ?

I'm sorry, but I refuse to read a story about San Francisco containing that phrase.

haha

believe me, if they didn't have traffic lights, Jay walking would be safer. Because the city would be a constent gridlock.
