City uses Linux to back it's free mobile wi-fi
Free municipal wi-fi is popping up all over the place, well, except in the United States. In Argentina, an innovative municipal wi-fi project is using free and open source software, "from the access points to the main head-end router"Available in a small segment of Rosario, a city of around 1 million people, the network is expected to be expanded to a much wider area with additional municipal funding. Why don't we see more projects like this in the US? Telecommunications companies don't want them, as they cut into the ability to sell wireless service.

Grammar police: it's = it is; its = possessive.

Here in Saskatchewan Canada we have free wireless access in all the larger cities in their downtown areas.

Hi!. The project is set to eventually give the whole city free Internet access using Wi-Fi technology. I live in Rosario and so far the service is working great!.
