SAN FRANCISCO'S WI-FI DREAM LIVES ON
[SOURCE: C-Net|News.com, AUTHOR: Marguerite Reardon]
Citywide Wi-Fi is not dead in San Francisco. At least that's what the city's
chief information officer Chris Vein said Monday at a panel at the MuniWireless
conference in Santa Clara, Calif. Vein told attendees at the conference that
the city is simply "taking a deep breath" while it figures out its next step.
"Nothing has changed in terms of our strategy," he said. "A lot has happened in
the last three years, so we are at the stage now where we're listening and
learning to figure out what our next move should be." That said, Vein added
that he fully expects the initiative to move forward and take shape in the
Mayor Gavin Newsom's next term. Newsom, who in 2004 put forth the idea of
offering free Wi-Fi access to all citizens, is expected to easily win his
re-election campaign in November. And Vein said that the mayor expects to have
an even more "audacious" term this time around.
