It's worth noting that the key word in his statement is "imagine."
"Imagine living in a town where you're able to move your laptop from one place to the next without ever having to log off from cyberspace. You can leave a coffee shop, travel down to the beach and then over to a park, all the while still surfing the Internet, free of charge." Mayor Keegan will be speaking about this vision of always-anywhere access in Hermosa, specifically, and other cities in general. The Hermosa Beach network is not complete and there is no claim that total connectivity is possible with this first rollout. But such a clear vision sure makes a nice target! And a fair technical challenge. -Mike O. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jack Unger Sent: Friday, February 20, 2004 4:57 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [SOCALWUG] Meeting 02/26/04, Hermosa Beach City Wide Wifi Hmmm, just wondering if Mr. Keegan is saying that applications on my laptop will continue to operate (and not disconnect and have to be restarted) as I'm moving around town or riding in a car? jack Frank Keeney wrote: > Main topic: > > Michael Keegan, Mayor of Hermosa Beach will be presenting at the next > SOCALWUG meeting, Thursday February 26th, 2004: > > "Imagine living in a town where you're able to move your laptop from one > place to the next without ever having to log off from cyberspace.
