Riverside enters the 21st century
January 12, 2007
The City of Riverside, California has stepped into the future. In a deal with telecommunications giant AT&T, all of Riverside's 300,000 residents will get free wireless Internet access in a phased in program starting this spring.
AT&T is scheduled to install the citywide network in two phases, first providing coverage by this spring in a three square mile test area near the Riverside Auto Center. Coverage will be expanded to the rest of the 80 square mile city by May 2008.
This free unlimited broadband Internet access will be available to all Riverside residents, businesses and municipal agencies.
Both Riverside and AT&T will spend millions on the project. Riverside will gain publicity as one of america's tech savvy cities and AT&T will have the gratitude and promotional possibiliities that come with the publicity.
Let's hope that other Inland Empire cities can shortly follow Riverside's example.
