Madison Rolling Out City-Wide Wi-Fi

Posted by Zonk on Sunday October 23, 2005 @12:29PM from the charter-will-not-like-this dept.

It doesn't come easy wrote to mention the announcement that Madison, Wisconsin will soon be home to the newest Municipal Wi-Fi network. From the article: "'I made a commitment in 2004 to bring Wi-Fi to Madison,' said Madison Mayor Dave Cieslewicz in a statement. 'This is an important new service for Madison residents and businesses.' The Madison network will be rolled out at no cost to the city and the providers have secured initial funding from service agreements from ISPs. The initial phase of the Madison network will cover users in the downtown region of the city with plans to later cover the entire city." I love my town. Zombies and Wi-Fi. What more could you want?

WiFi, smifi! This Mayor and City Council are destroying a once interesting city by making it an elitist mecca. This myth about Madison being liberal is about as far fetched as a free hot lunch. TANSTAAFL! All the liberals sold their homes and moved out of town because they couldn't afford the proerty taxes anymore.

Look for the new signs that should be going up soon when you come into Madison, they will read "Welcome to Boulder Colorado".
