Toronto To Get City-Wide WiFi

According to a newly announced initiative, Toronto Hydro is going to build a city-wide wifi network in order to directly compete with Rogers, Telus, and the like. This is huge not just because we will have ubiquitous wifi access anywhere, but also because municipal devices such as parking meters will be networked and monitored in a more central way. Cops will also have access to more data from their cruisers. How does this relate to porn? Well, now you can download hi-speed smut from anywhere. And it'll probably be fairly cheap so as to undercut the other players. Competition is good!

What's next? WiFi iPods of course. I believe that an 802.11a/b/g adapter is cheaper to stick into a portable device than a hard drive. What if the 'pod had little or no storage of its own but directly streamed your content from your home server or iTunes? No more storage limits!
