City Parks To Get Limited Free Wi-Fi

City Parks To Get Limited Free Wi-Fi

Free Wi-Fi service will be coming to 32 city parks in the near future, though it might not be the type of free Wi-Fi that most folks will be expecting. Cable giants Time Warner and Cablevision have agreed to spend $10 million to provide Wi-Fi service in said parks as part of a deal which the city agreed to give a 10-year renewal of the companies’ cable-television franchises. The catch is that the service will allow anyone to have free Wi-Fi in the parks for up to three 10-minute sessions a month, meaning a total of 30 minutes per person. If you happen to need more than your free allotment, you’ll need to pay $0.99 per day to continue to enjoy the Internet. That’s probably not the ideal way to get free Wi-Fi and questions have already arisen as to how users will be identified and tracked. Would you pay to use the Wi-Fi networks at parks?
