San Francisco plans city wide Wi-Fi

Wednesday, 19 Aug, 2005 0

San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom said the city is soliciting ideas for an ambitious system that would put Wi-Fi in the hands of people whether they are working in a high-rise office tower, riding on a cable car or living in a low-income housing project, reports the Associated Press.

The city of San Francisco wants ideas for making the entire 49-square mile city a free — or at least cheap — Wi-Fi zone.

Dell and other computer makers already have pledged thousands of computers that will be given to residents of poorer neighborhoods, said Mayor Newsom.

“We are going to be able to wire the city in a dynamic way so the entire city is a hot zone, but we are also going to be able to provide equipment in an unprecedented way,” Newsom said.
