CITY WI-FI DEMO COULD COME THIS MONTH

A demonstration area for Milwaukee’s city-wide wireless Internet service could go live later this month, according to a progress report on the initiative on the city’s website.

The demonstration area, centered on the Marquette University area, is bordered by 10th to 47th Streets on the east and west and by Vliet and Canal Streets on the north and south. The network, which consists of rooftop antennas and additional access points to be attached to poles, will initially offer access to a limited number of free accounts distributed for testing purposes. Rooftop antennas are already in place, and the first street-level access point was installed today, on 28th and Wisconsin Ave. The full network is expected to be operational by March 2008.

For Sale:
One nasty head cold. Will consider all serious offers. Will also consider a trade of one minor, yet irritating malady of your choice…

The paper has a lenghty article on the McGee recall election today.

McGee has until Jan. 12 to file appeal on recall
Others who want to run for council seat have until Jan. 23

The column hits on several points, so go check it out.

Update: Must Read

I want to point out this column from Alan Eisenberg, an Associate Editor of El Conquistador, a weekly Latino newspaper in Milwaukee.
