Philadelphia citywide Wi-Fi project underway
"Setting up a citywide network is definitely not as easy as putting up access points all over the place," said Doug Schremp, chief technology officer of BTS Partners, a consulting firm that designs and deploys networks. "There are some technical issues that need to be addressed, and cities really need to look at the operational and business issues that come with building and owning their own network."
Philadelphia currently plans to have their citywide Wi-Fi network up and running by summer 2006.

One day, every major city will have this. You will be able to use your laptop with your broadband ISP account anywhere in the city. Laptops will become cheap as hell, and become as popular as mobile phones have. They will become cheaper and lighter.
