The Internet story in Canada

March 8, 2006 by Michael Boyle

The Internet story in Canada

yesterday and in the near future has been Toronto Hydro’s announcement that they plan to roll out full WiFi access throughout Downtown Toronto in the next few months. During the initial rollout it will be free, but after 6 months they say that there will be 4 pricing plans to choose from.

I wonder – if you’re sitting in an apartment with a Hydro pole outside your window, do you ditch Rogers altogether and rely on the Utility company for your primary access? Or do you keep your Rogers or Bell service and sign up for the Hydro plan for those times when you roam around the city?

Good news:

Good news:

Six Apart is pumping up its Blogging Solutions for Business. For some time now large-scale integration issues have been handled (and it seems pretty well) by a growing and capable group of consultants and developers. While it’s certainly great news that Six Apart is adding features that will make integration in corporate environments easier, I hope they don’t cut the developers’ grass in the process. I highly doubt they would do that – after some missteps early on, Six Apart seems pretty good about both improving their service while also energizing and nurturing the developer community.

a characteristically complete review of the new MacBook Pro. Looks good, though it’s going to be a while before I can join in on the fun.
