Jack Kapica writes in The Globe and Mail:

Toronto is set to join a small but growing club of North American cities that will offer municipal wireless Internet access.

In a press release issued Sunday, Toronto Hydro Telecom said it would make an announcement Tuesday morning, when Mayor David Miller, Toronto Hydro chairwoman Clare Copeland and Toronto Hydro Telecom president David Dobbin will say they want a piece of the growing Wi-Fi market.

The project will put Toronto in the company of other cities that have made similar announcements recently, including Philadelphia, San Francisco, New Orleans and Chicago. Via Rail recently announced it would offer Wi-Fi service on trains on the Quebec-Windsor corridor.
