To: Julius Genachowski, FCC Chairman and Name, Title or Position (optional)
Support free public Wi-Fi
I support the efforts of Chairman Julius Genachowski to provide large scale free public Wi-Fi to most Americans. From the "Washington Post", "The federal government wants to create super WiFi networks across the nation, so powerful and broad in reach that consumers could use them to make calls or surf the Internet without paying a cellphone bill every month."
Why is this important?
Free public Wi-Fi is to the 21st century what free public schools and free public libraries were to the 20th century. Ref "Washington Post", "The proposal from the Federal Communications Commission has rattled the $178 billion wireless industry, which has launched a fierce lobbying effort to persuade policymakers to reconsider the idea, analysts say."
