Orlando, Fla., Wi-Fi on Hold
Expense, low usage cited as city explores alternatives
The Orlando Sentinel reported Tuesday that the city's free downtown Wi-Fi service will be put on hold, citing low usage in the coverage area -- only about 27 people per day -- and the $1,800 monthly cost of the system. The story said that alternatives are being explored, including covering high-rise buildings and finding a way to offset the expense.
