[wplug] Wi-Fi

[dk at curlynoodle.com]

Free-of-charge does not necessarily mean it has to be open access. Also, 
I never claimed that the government should use tax dollars to provide 
free access via WiFi, nor do I think it should.  Any such service, 
whether provided by a local municipality or private group, should be 
supported financially by the users.

Generally, what would be a good thing is a wide area WiFi network, 
accessible by anyone who registers, to if anything, create competition 
with Verzion, as well as provide a "new" service to the masses.
