New York Times Editorial on Municipal Wi-Fi's

An editorial in today’s (6/6/6) New York Times talks about municipal Wi-Fi networks.  Their editorial calls for New York to get into the Wi-Fi game.  The NYT talks about how local municipalities are leading the muni Wi-Fi movement.

Here is a blurb from the editorial:

Local governments are filling a leadership void at the federal and state levels, and they are going directly to providers to negotiate Wi-Fi deals. San Francisco's mayor has turned to Earthlink and Google. Earthlink, based in Atlanta, is also helping Philadelphia. In some of these deals, lower-speed connections are free, with higher speeds available at a price. The providers also hope to make money off advertising.

The editorial does not touch on telcos, such as Verizon, opposition to muni Wi-Fis but that fact that a major newspaper is calling for another major city to start looking into Wi-Fi should tell us that we should, at the least, be asking Verizon if they would oppose a Red Bank muni Wi-Fi
