Dayton, Ohio: Free City-Wide WiFi

Posted by timothy on Monday April 4, 2005 @06:01AM from the approaching-normalcy dept.

_Bunny writes "The City of Dayton, Ohio announced a plan to make all of downtown a WiFi hotspot - and as of last week, the network is live. This makes Dayton the first Ohio city to offer free WiFi access. Approximately one square mile of downtown is now live, including Fifth Third Field, the Oregon District, Webster Station and RiverScape. The WiFi project is a public/private partnership not funded by taxpayers, and comes at no charge to the end user." (According to the linked story at WHIO-TV, the city is actually paying about $5,000 per year, with advertisers picking up the rest of the tab.)

http://www.iccomputing.com/ has to be the most annoying flash-ridden page in the history of the web. I wouldn't buy stuff from them just because of that.
