This week in class, four students argued whether the Philadelphia wireless policy was a sensible model for municipalities around the world. They did a remarkable job. Their work is set down for others to see, here, on a class wiki that includes each of their arguments for and against the policy as a model for other municipalities. I am sure they’d like comments – if you e-mail them to me I’d be happy to pass them along to the class.

I’m glad to see that Philadelphia’s Wireless Initiative is getting recognized throughout the country. I think we’re headed in the right direction and hope that other municipalities will follow suit. I’d love to never have to worry about finding a connection (even though it’s fairly easy) in every city I go to.
