Municipal Wi-Fi Battle Moves to Texas

Posted by Zonk on from the because-texans-don't-need-wireless-networking- dept.

Cryofan writes "The fight in Texas is heating up over municipal wireless. Texas House Bill 789, under consideration in Texas, would impose one of the most extreme bans on municipal involvement in any form of communications--free or otherwise (the bill could ban free library access)."

      The problem is, this is /. so they dont want to see photographic evidence. Besides, its pictures of gangs of kids running the streets, most of them have guns, some are getting shot. Sounds a lot like downtown LA doesn't it ?

      I especially like the series of the american soldiers holding a gun to the head of what appears to be about a 6 year old. Lets put up a yellow ribbon for the 'hero'....

    In Hull, Quebec, the drinking age is 18 instead of 19 like it is in most places in Canada, and I went to a strip club. It was great.
