greatauntoftriplets' random thoughts
By Jon Van | Tribune staff reporter
August 28, 2007 Chicago is curtailing its digital dreams, deciding to back away from municipal Wi-Fi service after failing to reach agreement with either of two companies that sought to build a wireless Internet network in the city. The move comes as municipal broadband wireless projects around the country face difficulties, and EarthLink Inc., a major player in the field, is re-evaluating its future in municipal Wi-Fi. As envisioned in early 2006, Chicago was expected to become one of the first big cities in the country to blanket its streets and neighborhoods with a wireless Internet signal that would allow residents access to the Web in their homes and wherever they traveled in the city. http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/c... Even though I no longer live in the city, I wish that this was happening. Guess Daley has to save his $$$ for the Olympics. It might have made the internet possible for people who can't afford a DSL line or cable.  |
