So to make it a little more clear for the less informed. To use this Free Wi-Fi your laptop would need a 6 foot whip antenna attached to it. It would take you about 2 hours to down load a 5 minute video because all of the radio interference would cause errors in the data transfer. It may be free but it would make dial-up look great. This was tried in Portland -- free! free! -- went online last fall. Lasted until May of this year. They'll never learn.

The obsession with free internet is bizarre. If someone can’t afford the $10-15 per month for basic internet service, how can they afford a laptop with wifi?

Oh, wait... Think like a liberal. Once there is free wifi, there will be a call for free computers for all the people who can’t access the free wifi.
