Iron Technologist: Today's ingredient: city-wide wifi

| 0 Comments

It looks like my hometown's city wide WiFi is about to get some competition on that front: Philadelphia recently announced a two-year effort to string a free wireless network across its 135 square miles, potentially giving Philadelphia an entirely new identity as the most wired - or unwired - municipality on the planet. Cerritos, by comparison is only 8.6 square miles, and when I visited last month, I still couldn't access the wifi from my bedroom (although we do live on the edges of the city).
