When we say Free Wi-Fi, we mean....

Free!

San Francisco start up, Meraki, is attempting to provide free Wi-Fi to city residents in order to test their technology and build their profile, according to an article in the Chronicle. Mayor Gavin Newsom's statement, out today, about free Wi-Fi becoming a reality gives hope that it will happen- the second time around.

It seems that several members of the Board of Supervisors that were against Newsom and the Earthlink Wi-Fi deal, which ultimately fell through, may not be apposed to the Meraki deal.

This is great news considering that the current Free Wi-Fi in this city is offered in the form of -free if you buy a couple of coffees from us- which can get to be a very expensive form of Free.
