On Monday, Mayor Bill White announced the city will use about $3.5 million [...] to build 10 free wireless network “bubbles” in low-income parts of Houston to give residents access they otherwise might do without.The long-term possibility, White said, is that the bubbles could be connected and the areas between them added to the network, providing WiFi access across the city [...] In addition to installing Internet service, the city is working with
social service groups to provide computer access and training for
users. Each bubble will include about 15 public access points at
schools, city facilities and community organizations within the area.
