The extreme negativity seems unnecessary, though, and the criticism against WT in the online comments is puzzling -- why attack people who are trying to help? Thank you to Gabe and others at Wireless Toronto who are voluntarily working to improve the situation in Toronto, even if it is only one part of a larger solution.

Would've been nice if he had listed one or two of the places WT is serving, like Dufferin Grove and Y-D Square; guess there's not much you can do, when the piece has a slant already built-in.

The wifi piece was a sidebar on the cover story, which is about how technologically backward Toronto is. I've spent pretty much all of my time over the past 6 years trying to find interesting ways of using technology to help make our experience of the city more fun or interesting -- so maybe I'm bound to dislike Errett's angle.
