    There's free wireless at Bryant Park, as well as plenty of other locations. Deal with it.

    Well I suppose if you wanted to pay for it through your tax dollars that could happen. Of course, the millions of people who don't want to pay for it would be mighty pissed. The truth is that these things cost money. Free is great and it can work in small places like Bryant Park where there is a not-for-profit (in this case backed by HBO and other large companies in the area) that can pick up the cost. But for large scale nationwide service a big company is going to have to take charge (and charge).

    By the way - offtopic - Bryant Park is an incredibly historic place and a great place to have lunch when in New York. Visit bryantpark.org for a bit of history.
