Houston Downtown Wi-Fi Goes Live – City uses Earthlink bail-out money to offer free wireless…

In August of last year, Earthlink, failing to make muni-fi work, gave Houston million for missing build deadlines. Earthlink ultimately walked away from citywide Wi-Fi entirely, but Houston used their money to deploy downtown Wi-Fi themselves. That network went live this week, providing Houston residents with free service. According to the new city website, the network was built to provide electronic communication for City’s new state-of-the-art wireless parking meter pay stations — with free user connectivity an added perk. The website makes it clear that this is a pilot project that may stick around “if the pilot is successful in terms of usage and operation.” In other words, enjoy it while it lasts.
