Man (in Alaska) arrested for using library wifi
(03/02/07)
There's a story making the rounds about a man in Alaska who was arrested, apparently for sitting in a car outside a library using their wifi after hours. You can find the story in the Alaska Journal and commentary at librarian.net and engadget.com.
The story raises questions about appropriate use of public wifi, how that is/should be policed, and the place of libraries in providing public wifi. Got any thoughts? Please do share!

Help Wanted
(02/28/07)
The time has come for me to move on from Grand Rapids, and this June my wife and I will be packing up and moving (back) to the UK. So I'm looking for a willing individual or two to take over the task of keeping an eye on this site, and looking out for new locations that ought to be added, or existing hotspots needing updates. There's no financial compensation available (the site doesn't cover its hosting costs), but hopefully there's some satisfaction from helping out. And it's really very little work. Interested? Drop me a line at james@grwifi.net
