LA GOES WIRELESS….Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa announced today that Los Angeles will soon create a citywide wireless internet network:
If successful, the plan would create the nation’s largest municipal Wi-Fi networks in terms of square miles covered and the number of people given access….”With L.A. Wi-Fi, we are dedicating ourselves to the idea that universal access to technology makes our entire economy stronger,” Villaraigosa said.
Sounds great. But considering that you can’t even use a cellphone in LA’s subway system more than a decade after it first opened, I’ll believe it when I see it.
