That may be true for dark ages states like kansas and pennsylvania. But, my newspaper was asking for predictions related to our area and industry in the Silicon Valley.
Our city here in Sunnyvale was the first municipality in the nation to sign a free Wi-Fi deal and we did it without the text-filter snooping of "Big Brother" Google.
MetroFi plans to run local and national ads on the service, but will not track the browsing habits of its customers, Haas said. The only thing MetroFi will know is that their customers are in Sunnyvale, "which is valuable to local advertisers.''
