SF City explores owning its own WiFi network September 25, 2006

The city is negotiating with Earthlink/Google for a Commercial WiFi franchise. Some ask if maybe the city should do this like they maintain roads.

Supervisor McGoldrick will discuss:
"Motion directing the Budget Analyst to conduct, on a priority basis, a fiscal feasibility analysis of a City-owned Wireless Network to promote digital inclusion by ensuring affordable internet access, affordable hardware, community-sensitive training and support, and relevant content to all San Franciscans, especially low-income and disadvantage residents."

If you want to share your thoughts, stop by! This will happen at the Government Audits and Oversight (GAO) Committee in the Legislative Chambers, 2nd Floor.
