Widespread wireless--way to woo the winners

Wireless is the name of the game these days (see earlier post). Now comes local economic development guru Don Iannone pointing out in his ED Futures newsletter that Tempe, Arizona is the first city of reasonable size (160,000 residents) to provide wireless connectivity to all.

He says: "...Tempe officials hope that by making high-speed Internet as accessible as water or electricity across its 40 square miles, it will attract more technology and biotech companies -- and the young, upwardly mobile employees they bring."

Hey, we've got OneCleveland and Case Western Reserve and the Red Room. Whaddya wanna wager we're next!?
