Chron's Roper fleshes out mayor's downtown wifi plans
The Chronicle's John Roper reports on Mayor White's determination to create a wireless downtown network.
People who think this means downtown will be blanketed in free wifi courtesy of the city are going to be disappointed:
The company using Houston's many easements and right of ways for WiFi antennas and other equipment would then be able to sell its airtime to residents and businesses.
It's not at all clear why this is a priority for Mayor White, given the city's many problems, but we've covered that ground previously.
The Chronicle's Dwight Silverman is soliciting feedback on the mayor's proposal over at his blog, so feel free to leave your thoughts there if you haven't already.
