Free Muni Wi-Fi In Pittsburgh
Pittsburgh officially has free municipal Wi-Fi in the downtown area as of yesterday at noon. The initiative was started by Mayor Bob O'Connor, who passed away due to brain cancer on Sept 1. It took US Wireless Online only two months to build the 60-site network. The FreeConnect service option allows a maximum of two hours per day at no cost. DayConnect offers faster access at US$7.99/day, $14.95/m, or $119.99/yr. VoWiFi (Voice over municipal Wi-Fi) service is planned for the future. [via Pittsburgh Business Times, Business First]
I don't know if that's a record implementation time for municipal Wi-Fi, but it sure sounds like it is. Wow.
