Free Wireless??

Hi All,

I remember hearing a while ago that parts of Somerville and Cambridge would be getting free wifi in conjunction with MIT and Harvard. Any idea if and when this might happen? Additionally, I'm wondering how it would work?

I believe that it was called "Cambridge Public Internet" but that Cambridge dropped it. MIT has a project called "RoofNet" that I think is still operating to some extent. In fact, I know that the Newtowne Court area of housing project nearby MIT has wireless coverage from this project. You can see the wireless boxes on the rooftops and in some windows.
