Subject: [wirelesstoronto-discuss] NY Parks/Wi-Fi Salon Deal Collapses
Message-ID: <eab19db50901071312k3511c64at60bbac01f2779802@mail.gmail.com>

too bad about this:  (but looks like
NYCWireless<http://www.nycwireless.net/2009/01/wi-fi-salon-shuts-down/>spots
are still going strong)  but good to note the end piece of info, that
the city is set to unveil something that aims to expand access in parks.

http://cityroom.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/01/07/plan-for-wi-fi-in-city-parks-quietly-collapses/?hp

The long-troubled arrangement to install wireless Internet networks in
> Central Park and other New York City parks has quietly collapsed after the
> contractor, Wi-Fi Salon, ran out of money. The networks were quietly shut
> down in October and Wi-Fi Salon is removing the equipment from the park
> locations, which include seven hot spots in Central Park, two in Prospect
> Park, and others at Washington Square, Battery, Riverside, Van Cortlandt,
> Pelham Bay, and Flushing Meadows-Corona Parks, as well as Orchard Beach.
> This does not affect the privately provided free Wi-Fi at Bryant Park and
> other locations.


In 2004, Wi-Fi Salon agreed to pay the city's Department of Parks and
> Recreation $90,000 over three years for the right to wire 10 parks in four
> boroughs, including Central Park. The tiny sum of the contract meant that it
> depended on outside sponsors to be feasible. Without such sponsorship, its
> founder, Marshall W. Brown<http://www.nytimes.com/2006/07/14/nyregion/14lives.html>,
> decided to shut it down.
>

The Parks Department decided to terminate Wi-Fi Salon's contract after it
> failed to meet the deadlines and was delinquent in paying concession fees to
> the city. But that does not mean the Bloomberg administration has given up
> on offering Internet access.

"The city will soon unveil a series of digital inclusion initiatives focused
> on expanding access to, and adoption of, broadband technology, including
> service in parks across the city," said Jama Adams, a spokeswoman for the
> Parks Department.
