Wireless in Allentown?

NPR's On the Media has an excellent segment on municipal wireless--with a measured (but inconclusive) compare-and-contrast of Philly's private, St. Cloud's public, and Boston's hybrid systems.

Community wifi was one of the original reasons we formed Media Action of the Lehigh Valley. As we move into 2007, let's pressure city officials--including Allentown's Ed Pawlowski--to name a task force to start exploring options.
