Prediction time, chime in if you have your own. Why the secerecy Eliot?

I wanted to see the feasibility of bringing wireless to downtown Elmira, it would reasonably be able to be done with about a million dollars, outright. 5 Million means that Spitzer has a friend who does internet feasibility studies, and needed some cash. 5 million dollars would not do a thing.

Call me naive, but I am only starting to see that a politician funding a ‘Study” is just a way for them to hand out money to either political cronies, or friends. We, as NY State Tax payers might as well hold a BBQ and use rolls of $20.00 bills for all the good this will do.

State looks to expand high-speed Internet access

ALBANY– Gov. Eliot Spitzer unveiled a $5 million plan Thursday to improve the speed and availability of high-speed Internet to underserved areas of the state.

    Why does downtown need free wireless internet? I can think of a lot of other things Elmira needs first. For example, a reason to go down there on a regular basis nto start out with.

    Pay the $2.50, Bill. That is cheaper for all of us.

    Because I want it, because I would find it useful.

    No better reason.

    LOL Nina, I have yet to say anyone should pay for it, other than myself. No?

    maybe if I could get my laptop to work wireless I’d be singing the same song as you, Bill. One never knows!

    Nothing like plopping down on a sunny day, connected to the net. Or, sitting in your car in the winter, while waiting for something, passing the time.

    Nice.
