(Sorry for the cross posting, but figured this is relevant for a few  
different lists)

Idealist.org has posted a podcast interview of me (Dana Spiegel) and  
Laura Forlano talking about NYCwireless and the work that we do. Check  
it out!

 > Most of us probably think of using the internet as a solitary,  
indoor activity. NYCwireless thinks differently.
 >
 > In the latest Community Podcast, we look at how NYCwireless is  
working to bring the internet to everyone in New York City, both in  
and outside of their apartments. By “lighting up” public parks with  
free wi-fi access, the organization is helping New Yorkers to connect  
outdoors–and encouraging a new community of users while they’re at it.
 >
 > We talk with Dana Spiegel and Laura Forlano from NYCwireless to  
hear more about their mission and projects. We also explore the  
challenges they face as they strive to make internet access an  
accepted public service.
