Social Tech Strategies
TOist has written about the mess the big four carriers are making of WiFi in TO (and Canada) in the past, with a mixture of frustration and apathy. So it’s nice to see that some locally-wired citizens, loosely known as Wireless Toronto, are getting together to discuss the idea of creating wireless community networks. They’re specifically looking to Ile Sans Fils, a Montreal group that offers WiFi when you’re in their radius. TOist had opportunity to try it out a while back, and only hopes this group can muster up a similar operation for the WiFi-wanting here in TO. Gabe Sawhney will lead a discussion about approaches, models, and strategies for a community wireless group in Toronto.
The group will meet tonight from 5:30 to 7 at the Centre for Social Innovation.
