Municipal WiFi is the new hope for Net Neutrality - thinker
Lessig's exploding cloud  Municipal WiFi networks could help
beat US carriers and politicians in the battle over so-called
"net neutrality," according to one leading campaigner  Stanford
University law professor Larry Lessig has argued the WiFi clouds
popping up across cites from Philadelphia to San Francisco could
provide broadband access over the "last mile" between the
internet cloud and users' doorsteps.  Lessig, author and co-
leader of the Creative Commons, told LinuxWorld attendees in San
Francisco, that unification of the WiFI patchwork would provide
an infrastructure that frees the last mile from the "proprietary
control" of carriers like AT&T and Verizon. This would restrict
carriers' ability to charge content providers different fees in
order to prioritize delivery of their data packets across the
internet.  Nationwide fame: Lessig on Jeopardy  "When one owns
the wires as these network operators do, there is a desire to
