World Technology Forum calls us Technology Pioneers
You probably already read about Meraki raising $20,000,000 to extend wifi coverage of San Francisco. Where Google and Earthlink failed , now the Mountain View wifi start-up intends to claim success .
Here’s the dirt> They are WiFi-ing the Haight and the Mission. There is no indication that this ploy will pan ou but… at least it is a tribute to the spirit of San Francisco’s humble attempts to deploy this technology to this relatively compact (49 square miles) land mass. Maybe San Francisco just can’t foot the bill for it’s very own people so like shabby debutantes we show up in Silicon Valley with our hats in our hands begging some cast off knock offs from the rich and the elite.


It’s like this… Say you work in a major corporation in the Financial District and they act like it’s going to leave them banging @ the poorhouse door if they were to part with an honest living wage for the lowly workers. Or check it out you live in one of the most progressive locales in the entire uSA but they can’t leave us have those mystical & Muy caro INVISIBLE WiFi WAVES! Oh, the humanity… Hey! By the 21st century we should have been flying around in hydro-solar jetpacks but look at us, mama… (Please notice that price was $20,000,000 usd , roughly the price of lunch for an Oil Tycoon) I guess the major reason this city was named for St. Francis was to remind all of us (me especially) to have patience and look kindly on everyone.
I received un Centavo fromNicaragua today and that’s roughly worth less than a penny in the economy of the World @ large. People have it rougher than the once priviledged economic power of the US. What is so tough about US getting a Citywide-WiFi up and running? It’s a real head scratcher, folks. Yes sir. A real head scratcher…
Well, keep jacked in and Citywide will be updating this story as it oozes forth from the Civic Center.
Peace to the people of the Earth & Citywide
PS
And maybe we can get some free wifi @ the newly proposed
