Open Park to Offer Inauguration Week Public Wi-Fi Service Along Pennsylvania Ave. Parade Route and on Capitol Hill
I'd like to give everyone on our mailing list a "head's up" about the
free public hotspot Open Park has now deployed for Inauguration Week along the Pennsylvania Avenue parade route. The hotspot will operate through January 22nd at Pershing Park on the north side of Pennsylvania Ave. between 14th and 15th Sts. NW. Coverage will also extend to portions of Freedom Plaza across from City Hall and the northeast portion of the Ellipse. This hotspot will complement our current hotspot on Capitol Hill which provides service in front of the Supreme Court and the site of the new Capitol Visitors' Center. During Inauguration Week, we want to show Washington (and the rest of the world) the many benefits which public hotspots can provide. And, for that, we will need your input and your active participation !! We'll post the results on our web site.
Here's how you can help:
On January 20 (or before), please head down to one of our hotspots. Log in and send us an email, photo or blog entry. Tell us what's happening and any cool applications or happenings that Open Park's hotspot enabled. We'll post a sampling of all the communications we receive (and
relevant links) on our web site at the special 2005 Inauguration blog:
http://www.openpark.org/2005inauguration .
Send correspondence to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Or enter your comments directly on the blog. And don't forget to tell your friends about our
Inauguration Week service. Open Park's hotspots are free and open to
everyone.

P.S. Please note that on Inauguration Day,
January 20, access to some areas covered by Open Park's hotspots may
require you to pass through a security checkpoint and consent to a search. We have been advised that the public will be permitted to bring WiFi equipped PDAs and cameras through the security line. However, we have also been told that law enforcement personnel may not permit people to bring large hand luggage, including some types of knapsacks and
briefcases, though there is no per se ban on laptops.
