The problem with WiFi is that it has to plug into something. Or does
it? Can we actually have a city-wide WiFi system that not only provides
convenient and reliable internet without using gird power? St Louis
Park, a small city in Minnesota, has plans to do just that. The city is
using some 400 PV panels to power a city-wide WiFi system that will
cost $20 a month for a 1 mbps connection.
It's cheap, it's convenient, it's owned by the city, and it's solar-frikkin powered. We'll keep an eye on this one and, with any luck, it'll spread to other cities as well.

Have you heard if St Louis Park has approved this WIFI plan? I live in a community with WIFI in the downtown area so this could work. I will forward the info.
