Andrew Rasiej will announce his plan to provide city-wide wifi access for all New Yorkers

When: Wednesday, June 22, 12:30 P.M., City Hall Steps
What: Candidate for Public Advocate Andrew Rasiej announces his plan to create low-cost Wireless Access ( WIFI) for all New Yorkers.

Please join Andrew Rasiej and his supporters on the steps of City Hall as he describes his plan, when elected Public Advocate, to provide free or low-cost wifi access for anyone in New York. Participants are asked to arrive early if possible so as to clear security and to get signs and stickers.

Rasiej has said that one of his first moves as Public Advocate would be to follow Philadelphia and San Francisco in ensuring that New Yorkers have ready access to the internet via wifi. It will be interesting to hear how he plans to do this. Certainly, his initiative is essential to bridging the digital divide, as broadband access costs upward of 50 dollars a month for most residents.

Please come, even if only for a few minutes.
Trains: R, 6, W

Sounds good to me. Just worri

Sounds good to me. Just worried about how the NYC bureaucracy would screw it up... If it's pure unfiltered WiFi following in the model of a lot of the free hotspots currently around the city, that's more than good enough.
