According to a piece in the Epoch Times (Free Wi-Fi to be Available in City Parks, August 11, 2011), New York City has renewed its contract with Warner Cable and Cablevision Systems with a portion of that service to provide free Wi-Fi  in 32 parks. Borough Presidents have not decided which parks will be the lucky recipients, but they may include parks that already have free Wi-Fi . With that said, the goal is to provide free  Wi-Fi to parks in underserved areas that do not have other Wi-Fi options. Subscribers to these two cable companies will have completely free service while non-subscribers will receive 30 minutes free per month with a nominal fee in 24 hour increments.

I sent an email to find out if the parks have been decided yet. I'll keep you updated. In the meantime, I wish you a happy, healthy and productive 2012.

Happy New Year!
