Tomorrow July 10th and on Wednesday July 11th the San Francisco Board of Supervisors will vote on whether to approve the City’s proposed agreement with Earthlink and Google to provide FREE wireless internet access to the City of San Francisco.

In the fall of 2005, the city of Sacramento itself had unsuccessfully attempted to deploy municipal wireless.  Local non profit and community leaders got wind of what appeared to be a wireless strategy that was not inclusive of local community needs, and, rightly so, intervened.
