These high-tech volunteers are out to do their jobs for the day.
NYC Wireless is non-profit, and most other volunteers would set up wifi hotspots at cafes, day care centers, and restaurants from Brooklyn to Bronx in order to let New Yorkers know how wifi has been changing the way people are doing business and communicating. Is this the end of broadband? At about the same time I'm writing this, elsewhere in the US, a great number of residents are still getting internet access from dial-up. How ironic.
