NEED SUPPORT!!!
Dave, for IP,
The Open Park initiative (www.openpark.net) is leading an effort to
deploy hot spots
(for free) on the Mall in Washington DC, at no cost to the tax payer
or the
Smithsonian (all hardware/software/bandwidth costs are being taken
care of). All that
is needed is a little bit of roof space on top of a few of the
Smithsonian Buildings.
Letters of support have been received from Congress and more recently
Vint Cerf. We
need a final push of positive support from the inter-webs to let the
Smithsonian
Board of Regents know that the public wants this and that its not a
bad thing.
Letters to the Smithsonian should be directed to addresses at this
