Wi-Fi in Canada

Old news but not widely read, a group of Canadian telecommunications companies are setting aside differences to build a nationwide Wi-Fi network for Canada. It is expected to cover some 60% of the nation. Slashdot for summary. Sadly the Globe and Mail wants money to see the original article. Here is another article on the subject.

It would be a sad day if Canada had a nationwide wi-fi before the U.S. but that is entirely possible. The U.S. is already 3-5 years behind on wireless/cell/handy technology so dropping the ball on Wi-Fi isn't a stretch.
