HEARINGS ON MUNICIPAL Wi-Fi Google/Earthlink Project . Do you have questions about the Google/Earthlink Wi-Fi plan? . Are you concerned about coverage in your neighborhood? "Will I get reception?" . What about the extra costs of hardware or faster service? . How fast is the free service? Will I have consistent service? . Who do I call if there is a problem? . Is Digital Inclusion being addressed fully? . Is the City giving away too much control like they did with cable TV and electricity/natural gas? . Who is the Budget Analyst anyway and what does he do? . What kind of privacy can I expect from Google/Earthlink? . What alternatives are there? If these and other questions about the Google/Earthlink Wi-Fi project concern you, find out more and speak your mind at the first of a series of public hearings at City Hall.
