Free Wi-Fi In Central Park

I saw a report this morning on free wi-fi in Central Park and several other NYC Parks. The report was on WNBC-TV, but I could find no link to it on their website. I did find several references to the plan from May, including this one from the NY Times. (You may need to register to follow the link.) I also found this NY Daily News article, undated, but I think from May.

There is also a group called NYCwireless who seems to be trying to wire more of the city on a grassroots basis.

Free wi-fi in public areas is a big step towards making the internet ubiquitous and I am in favor of it.

Update: The story that started this is here.
