Free WiFi @ CWRU

Maybe it's the headline or maybe it's because it's not the main topic of Steve's post, but let me make it clear:

Case Western Reserve University is providing WiFi access to everyone for FREE

Hello! This is big news. Have you seen it on TV? Is it in the PD yet? Check this out:
This is the first phase of blanketing Cleveland with free wireless Internet access�a project we call OneCleveland,� said CWRU chief information officer Lev Gonick, who has spearheaded the project. �We are working with our industry partners, Cisco Systems and Sprint, to complete the wireless network across University Circle, providing wireless access to everyone who comes to the Cleveland Museum of Art, the Cleveland Museum of Natural History, or any of the other cultural and educational resources in the neighborhood.� CWRU is calling the wireless Internet access one of the largest public wireless services in the world. The service will be available via 1,230 Cisco Aironet 1200 wireless access points spread throughout the campus and University Circle area.
Schwing! In case the magnitude of this hasn't sunk in, this is the most ambitious civic digital infrastructure project in the world right now. How's that for a first?
