Free WiFi plan bites the dust
Well then, no free, city-wide municipal wifi for Sydney any time soon:
Eric Roozendaal said the Government had evaluated proposals from 15 providers keen to build the network but concluded it wasn't practical based on technical and financial grounds.
The Premier, Morris Iemma, first announced the free broadband initiative in November 2006, just before last year's state election, claiming it would boost the NSW economy by making it more attractive to businesses.
I rant a bit about it over at Free Sydney Wireless.
