San Fran­cisco Picks Com­pa­nies for Wi-Fi.

San Fran­cisco Choo­ses Goo­gle, Earth­Link to Blan­ket City With Free Wire­less Inter­net Ser­vice.
Goo­gle Inc.‘s bid to blan­ket San Fran­cisco with a free wire­less Inter­net ser­vice clea­red a major hurdle Wed­nes­day when a city panel iden­ti­fied the search lea­der and Earth­Link Inc. as the best can­di­da­tes for the ambi­tious project.

Hap­pi­ness is when you turn up to one of those “Future of Media” con­fe­ren­ces, and the venue hos­ting the event wants to change one of the spea­kers $200 a day for wifi. Oh, the irony. [True story.]
The future is wifi. Any com­pany, city, cul­ture etc that gets too greedy about pro­vi­ding it, con­signs itself to the dust­bin of history.
