Free Australia Wireless |
And for Sydney, until May 30, people can submit comments for
Sustainable Sydney 2030. I had a look at the draft document at Customs
House, and free wireless internet was just mentioned in one single
paragraph (free wifi internet at the libraries) while I think it would
cover a lot more (tourism, business, cultural centres,...) I'm
planning on submitting something in regard to
FreeAustraliaWireless/FreeSydneyWireless, probably a reworked Free
Australia Wireless executive overview. I'd appreciate any feedback on
this too, anything you would want to see added?
