This free wireless internet service will be free to anyone in the city that has a wireless modem. The city felt this will not only save residents money, but attract new businesses and higher-paying jobs. Many cities have hot spots, no one has a city wide service. Sanfransico has one in the metro area only. Other cities will be implementing wireless service, but will charge residents a fee.
