S.F. Leaders Voice Concerns on Wi-Fi Project
Stephen Lawson writes in NetworkWorld:
San Francisco's plan for citywide Wi-Fi ran into some friction Friday from a local regulatory agency.
The government of the City and County of San Francisco is readying a request for proposal (RFP) for the wireless network, which is intended to provide free or affordable Internet access throughout most of the city. Several possible partners - including Google, EarthLink, Motorola and a local nonprofit project called SFLan - have already expressed interest in the project through an earlier request for information. The San Francisco plan would become one of the largest rollouts yet of government-initiated broadband, a concept that has generated heated political discussion in the past several months.
At a hearing Friday, some members of San Francisco's Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO) grilled Chris Vein, director of the city's Department of Technology and Information Services (DTIS), about the process of deciding how to build and operate the network.
