Obama possesses the unique ability to hold 5 or 6 different principled stands on the same issue within 24 hours.

Create a problem, appoint villians, exacerbate the problem, agitate the public, punish the villians, take control of the situation and increase the states power—-Lenin would be proud

Boccieri's little sticker looks like both the Gore/Lieberman 00 bumper stickers and the home banner of the Keeler Political Report.

None of those proposals would even help today……"Building new local refineries to process biofuels and other cutting-edge fuel sources."

How about new refineries for oil?

Not surprising of problems with the Republican campaign. All the heavy hitters are taking the 'pass' on most of these election spots this year for obvious reasons.

His poster looks like a nice combo of the old Soviet sickle and a vaguely Islamic-looking star. Maybe he got help from Obama's minister of propaganda.

For the one who responded to be concerning its not just security issues - you are absolutely 100% correct. While I don't see conflictions with other wireless networks a huge problem - there will be some.

Plus, where is Akron going to get the bandwidth for this? With potentially 80,000 people on the network thats alot of bytes moving around - don't expect it to be speedy. We're talking dial-up speeds most likely.

I can think of one good thing for this, however. I do malware research and I can tell you I just found the next place I'll be collecting my viruses from!

Gas prices must be really affecting Boccieri more than most, seeing how he has to drive into the 16th to campaign from the district he lives in.

Mike D., the city is proposing free internet as a part of a larger strategy to develop that corridor of the city. The primary focus plan is also to revitalize the residential neighborhood in the free internet zone. I should have made that point earlier, but I believe that it will help the businesses I mentioned. This area of Akron is struggling, but has potential. City provided internet would likely create more demand for rental properties in the neighborhood. If I was looking to buy a home, I would at least look at this neighborhood. Free internet would not be a deciding factor, but it would be a nice bonus. My hope is that this pilot program for free internet is successful and expands to our downtown and other parts of the city.

I support this issue as someone who drives through this neighborhood everyday. I want the housing to improve so it is safer. I'd like to be able to ride my bike down to the Mustill Store and hop on the Towpath without worrying about safety. I'd like to see more businesses so I can go get dinner and buy cool stuff without driving far. Again, I don't think free internet alone is going to make these things happen. But, I do think it can help.
