March 25, 2008 | By Raymond T. Hightower
The city of Houston, TX is building ten WiFi networks in strategic areas of the city. They’re financing the installation with $3.5 million received in the settlement of a contract dispute. What a wonderful way to turn lemons into lemonade!

Future
Of course, technology is only a tool. The real question: How will the city of Houston maximize the effectiveness of the tool? How will teachers in Houston schools use WiFi to encourage the next generation of geniuses? I look forward to seeing the results!
