Free Internet for the "Big Easy"...that is soo Very Cool!!


They say that with disaster comes the opportunity to rebuild things. And if this latest artice about New Orleans is any indication, it seems that the "Big Easy" is going about it in a good way.....

......and hopefully this will give ALL of the residents of this "once awesome city" a chance to bounce back from tragedy. I think this is about the "coolest" thing I have heard about in at least a few weeks.

Way to go New Orleans!!!

PS: Racine County is also in the process of trying to roll out "County Wide WIFI" but from the stories I have read on that, it will not be free to residents or companies. Too bad. This is just what the Giant Telecoms and Cable Companies need....if there were more services such as these, then maybe the average "Joe" wouldn't be "nickle and dimed" to death by unreasonalby high cable bills!! I dont even have all the extras I could have with Time Warner here in Racine and my bill is still over 100.00 a month! And that is after dropping to "Road Runner Light" and getting rid of HBO and Cinimax.....hmmmm.
