On The Square Online

Wireless on The Square?

" The city is considering hot spots at places like the Carbondale Town Square rather than a completely wireless city like Rockford, partly because of funding. . . . [T]he city hasn't even estimated funding costs yet.

. . . Some businesses don't want wireless Internet access. Elaine Ramseyer, general manager of Longbranch Coffee House, said she doesn't want wireless Internet available at the coffee house located near the Town Square. . . . However, she said she thinks wireless Internet access could help build up business on the Strip and bring more students out into the community, encouraging growth.
