"It is a priority of my Administration to make high speed internet more accessible to Californians throughout our state," Governor Schwarzenegger said. "Increasing wireless internet access at public facilities is a great way to achieve this goal and I look forward to announcing many more 'California Hot Spots' in the future."
In addition to the Wi-Fi hot spot in the Governor's Press Conference Room at the Capitol, five other Wi-Fi access points are in the pilot phase at the following locations: Secretary of State office, The California Museum for History, Women & the Arts, Library and Courts II, Department of General Services and Office of State Publishing.
These Wi-Fi hot spots can be accessed with a wireless-enabled laptop to gain access to the Internet remotely without a password. "California Hot Spots" are currently funded through preexisting funding in the DGS budget.
On November 28, 2006, Governor Schwarzenegger created the California Broadband Initiative when he signed Executive Order S-23-06, making it a priority to promote widespread access to broadband and advanced communication services for Californians.
