No free WiFi for you!
http://www.chron.com/cs/CDA/ssistory.mpl/business/3047756
Several Web sites that watch the growing tension between governments that want to offer free WiFi access and the telecom companies that want to profit from it have spotted a nasty provision in a bill in the Texas Legislature.

Chip Rosenthal, an Austin-based computer consultant, is particularly horrified at language in the bill that would prohibit governments from offering free access.

---------------
This bill absolutely sucks. WiFi wants to be free. We can't let them bag it up again.
