So in my Web scrounging I turned up an interesting site that could allow for the Oly community to establish WiFi connectivity without waiting for our civic leaders to get a clue. Here's a Whisher for WiFi for everyone.

it is as eassy as 1,2,3

enpen, are you a "closet geek/tech activist"?
--I have wifi going now on the eastside now, it is all over downtown; pretty easy to setup:

Hook one end of the cable that goes to my WiFi AP into my switch that connect to the Internet via DSL, and then string it out to where I wanna mount my AP, and BINGO, we're in a WiFi cloud!

enpen, it is as easy as getting a permit if you want to put an antenna on a public water tower or public building--

check out (and by that I mean "Google" the following keywords one at a time:
Meraki
CUWIN (for opensource OS that works on Meraki)
WebNetCWN
StarMesh
...plus hit muniwireless for more buzz :-)
