Re: who is pushing it?

I went to a conference in which the leader of the SF wireless project stated that the main objective for the plan is to give underprivileged people the chance to access the internet. They also talked about how to give out cheaper laptops.

SF is working with Google and Earthlink on the project and it may be sometime before anything will happen as the city and the companies are still discussing the details.

It will happen eventually.

The op ed did not really say who is doing the pot stirring, but implies that the city is thinking about it. Knowing most city governmental types, it takes outside money to get them to move on something like this.

Also, the op ed seems to full of BS "There are those who say Google has designs on wiring the entire country, and the critics say it's a despicable plan. They fear the power of a company that would have such control." What about the cablecos and telecos????
