Yay! My ‘Hood’s Getting Muni Wi-Fi

It’s not just my neighborhood, but most of Jefferson Parish is getting connected with a Wi-Fi signals from Lake Pontchartrain to Grand Isle. From CityBusiness:

The network will likely be fixed atop schools, courthouses and parish and city buildings stretching the length of Jefferson Parish, with signals bouncing from one network receptor to the other…Once installed, Wi-Fi will allow residents to turn on their computers at any location within parish lines and immediately be plugged into the Internet. A cost to residents won’t be known until bids are secured. It was unclear Wednesday how much parish officials plan to budget for the network.
