I support any initiative to create a wireless network in Toronto. However I really think this should be free, and as much as possible it shouldn’t be under the control of only one big corporation. Otherwise different restrictions come in time. For example Rogers which has a lot of traffic filtering. Basically you pay for bandwidth and access to internet but you get your traffic limited by any kind of rules they think is appropriate.

I strongly support the TH’s initiative. It is good to have some competition in this very tight market with just a few giants sharing the whole profit between themselves. It will nudge them to drop the prices also. It was time for Toronto to have its own wireless citywide network.

There are very nice places that have free WiFi (Like Linux Cafe)
For the price of a cup of good coffee, who will need Toronto Hydro, when they start charging?
