...Honolulu's Chinatown, that is.
New York's Chinatown would be even more interesting. Narrow streets,
high population density, low per capita income, and a savvy user base.

Chinatown to get free WiFi access
Friday June 23, 9:09 pm ET
Honolulu's Chinatown district will have free wireless Internet access
starting later this summer.
Mayor Mufi Hannemann said Thursday that EarthLink (Nasdaq: ELNK -
News) will provide the free WiFi service for about a year, then is
expected to begin charging.
"EarthLink wants to test its wireless systems in Honolulu," said Keith
Rollman, the mayor's information technology adviser. "The pilot
project will cover an area from about Fort Street to River Street,
Nimitz Highway to Beretania Street, and will include Aala Park."
Hawaiian Electric Co. is also a partner in the project and will use
the WiFi connection to test various utility applications, including
advanced electric metering and energy conservation initiatives.
Rollman said security cameras will also be linked to the WiFi network.
