The Sacramento City Council will consider the proposal of Sacramento Metro Connect LLC to make 100 square miles of Sacramento wireless. Sacramento Metro Connect is a consortium of IBM, Cisco, Intel, Seakay and Azulstar. Basic service would be free. Higher speeds would require a fee. Businesses will also be able to take advantage of this service.

This would be one of the largest deploymets in the country and could be complete by October 2009.

Show up at 6PM on Thursday, June 21st and let the City Council know this is a GREAT thing for Sacramento. And if you are going to be late, I think it will be OK, it's item 31 on an agenda of 37 items!
