Another reason to move to San Francisco...
(Because there are many.)
From Wired News:
San Francisco wants ideas for making the entire 49-square-mile city a free — or at least cheap — Wi-Fi zone.Awesome!

Well, having it in a hotel is one thing, but having it anywhere in the city — like the NY Times reporter in the farm country… Now that would be cool!

Go here — http://www.business2.com/b2/web/articles.. — to read about Google’s somewhat Orwellian-sounding plan to create a free* nationwide Wi-Fi network.

Well, in my opinion, internet should be provided by the government to anyone paying income tax… But, maybe that’s just me? (Dang my socialist viewpoints!)

don’t even get me started, Tim.

Umm, yet another reason to move to Portland instead of the bay, even. We’ve already got a grass-roots volunteer organization that’s already put in 55 free hot-spots all over Portland (read more about them at http://www.personaltelco.net/static/inde..). Also, the city has made plans, backed by Intel, to create a very cheap “wireless cloud” over PDX. Read more about it in the Oregonian, published just yesterday (http://www.oregonlive.com/search/index.ssf?/base/business/1124462772256260.xml?oregonian?fng&coll=7).
Don’t mean to float our own boat here, but PDX ROCKS!

Thanks, Zach… Yeah, after I got home, and was looking at the photos I had taken, I was struck by how much I had been influenced by all of the iPod ads that permeate San Francisco. Funny, eh?

Nick Kristof also wrote a nice article in The New York Times a couple of weeks ago about a rural county in eastern Oregon that is more wired than a lot of major American cities. Kristof wrote about checking his e-mail as he was being driven through farm country.
