Orlando Cancels Free WiFi Project

Posted by samzenpus on from the no-internet-for-you dept.

EvilStein writes "According to local news, the City of Orlando has cancelled the city WiFi project. The 6 month pilot program ran for 17 months instead of the planned 6, but in the end, it was costing the city too much money and very few people were using the service. Might other municipal WiFi projects go the same way?"

  3. Why does government need to do this? by toupsie · · Score: 5, Funny

    Why do taxpayers need to fund free WiFi when you can just get it from your neighbor's right out of the box, default install Linksys/Netgear/Airport router?
