Last night, the city of Sacramento voted to adopt a resolution deploying a municipal wireless network.  This establishes Sacramento as the first municipal wireless city in the greater Central Valley offering free wireless services.  Congratulations!

It was, as a representative of the consortium responsible for the buildout stated, a "harmonious" decision reached by council members.

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. 

So. I got a Nintendo Wii.

Let me make myself clear: this is not a product endorsement.

A Ticket to Success (see our site’s grantee feature) represents an ideal “whole package” grantee. 

Who didja vote for?  Aspiration?  nabuur?  maplight?  freecycle?  NetSquared has its top 21 projects, and if you haven't checked them out, you should.  The future
