Hey gang- I was kind of disappointed by the conversation at the Feb 22, 2006 meeting. I expected a debate about whether St. Paul should be in the Wifi business. What happened instead was a hour long meeting about "what can we do with high speed internet." While that's an interesting meeting on it's own, it came off more like a sales-pitch to the citizens of St. Paul (which includes me) rather then a real discussion about how city-wide Wifi will change our lives.

Unfortunately, they haven't done a very good job of getting the word out. Only 20 or so people attended the February 22 forum. The next forum is this coming Monday, February 27, from 7 to 9 pm at the Dayton's Bluff Recreation Center, 800 Conway Street, Saint Paul. Details at http://www.stpaul.gov/depts/ot/wifi.html It's fun. Really. You get to register your opinion, using an interactive device, on current Internet services and future needs. Then you can talk about your response. This is a chance for Saint Paul residents to participate in planning their city's information future - an opportunity that was denied to Minneapolis residents. So spread the word to all your Saint Paul friends and acquaintances. Becca Vargo Daggett Seward, Minneapolis -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
