| Well Salem Wants Something Different
Well Salem is pondering the deployment of a city-wide Wi-Fi network hosted and supported by the city's open.org network and will offer it as a muicipal service to the citzens of the city
Despite the fact it is only in the very early stages locals who has heard about it supports the idea completely, inculding me. 
The only ISPs who provide broadband service for Salem is Comcast for cable and Qwest for DSL respectively. Hopefully, there will now be a third choice to have. As far as I am concerned, the more choices there is to have, the more power we have as individuals in the market place in our capitalist ecomony. Regardless if the choices come from private companies or public via the government. -- True Happiness Must Come From Within |
