Open Park Project Gives Free Wi-Fi to Capitol Hill

Posted by timothy on from the freedom-among-the-sausagemakers dept.

mindless4210 writes "The Open Park Project has made free Wi-Fi internet access available to anyone around the Supreme Court, Library of Congress, and Capitol Visitor's Center. "It's a hotspot for democracy," said Greg Staple, Open Park's co-founder. The non-profit organization has also received a significant donation of Wi-Fi equipment from Tropos Networks, which it plans to use to establish a mesh of free hotspots across the National Mall."

      www.peoplesprimary.org appears to be a real site. (But you shouldn't trust me blindly, so at least turn your volume off before following that link.)

      'whois' shows no similarity between the .org and .com sites, so I suspect the .com site was created specifically to be used in this type of troll.
