there, in the classifieds, under ‘other’: Richmond Free WiFi

Richmond Free WiFi is a grassroots effort to develop a community-based wireless internet network across the region, and state. Blog RichardSebastian.com, who writes on technology and education, observes:

The educational implications of this project are especially exciting. Free wireless, especially in and around poorer communities, is yet another way to provide lower-income students with much needed access the Internet.

So, how do we get a wireless network up and running?

Read RFW’s how-to page here, or turn to Richmond.com’s article here.

    Note for when the classified goes away: Richmond Free Wireless now has a ‘banner ad’ in the right column. If you don’t see it, hit your browser’s “refresh” button until the banner randomizer loads it.

    The Brick Weekly also writes about Richmond Free WiFi

    After centuries of conflict and decades of division, one man is determined to unite all of Richmond behind a cause that transcends politics, history, race and religion: wireless internet access.

    Folks… if you want Petersburg to grow a free wireless network, the person that can make this happen has presented himself. For more, go here.
