Wi-fi Art Thou, Winston?

Seattle City Council member Jim Compton wants the city to investigate creating a municipally owned wireless network providing city-wide Internet access in order to compete with private providers and bring down service costs.

With lower costs, though, comes the dubious honor of a government owned, controlled – and possibly monitored – wi-fi system.

He says he expects "vigorous conversation...about breaking down barriers between city departments and public enterprise."

"Barriers" meaning "doors between your now illegally owned ISP and a government SWAT team."

In other wi-fi news, this looks like a fun toy.
