NYC Wireless

Abstract:
NYC wireless is a non-profit organization that advocates and works for free public wireless networks in the New York City area. Founded in 2001 by Terry Schmidt and Anthony Townsend, NYC Wireless remains an all-volunteer organization. Following a successful launch of its first wireless zone in Bryant Park, NYC Wireless has expanded its work to incorporate other green and/or public spaces in the city, in cooperation with the city's parks organizations and neighborhood associations. It has also expanded its work to include the acquisition of affordable broadband access for several of New York City's poorer neighborhoods. The organization is a supporter of open-source software, and regularly testifies at public municipal hearings.
