This month, the Federal Communications Commission begins drafting a national broadband plan as part of the 2009 stimulus package. This is not the first government attempt at broadband ubiquity, so the FCC can learn from past failures. The commissioners have less than eight months to "ensure that all...
Internet service providers that serve advertising when a user requests a Web page that doesn't exist are exposing their users to a giant security breach, according to security researcher Dan Kaminsky.

Having induced the Federal Communications Commission to open up the C block of wireless spectrum at the recent wireless auction, Google is now seeking access to another set of airwaves in pursuit of openness.

Meraki, a wireless mesh network startup with dreams of bringing Internet access to developing countries, announced Friday that it will expand its "Free the Net" program, currently available in a few San Francisco neighborhoods, to cover the entire city and create a free municipal WiFi network.

Mayors and city governments around the U.S. bought into citywide WiFi project plans, which often included unsupportable performance claims and grossly inflated forecasts for the numbers of users they would attract. Those decisions have come back to haunt them and have led to some abrupt reversals of...
In their eagerness to bring the benefits of wireless internetworking to their cities, mayors in Chicago, Houston, San Francisco and other U.S. cities have bought into untested, inflated claims.

In...
Across the U.S. -- and in fact throughout the world -- municipalities are adding broadband WiFi to their list of services.

Parents are becoming increasingly aware of the real dangers their children can encounter online, but many wonder what they can do to protect them. With countless software and awareness programs available, the answer varies from home to home, but the companies providing the armor agree that one solut...
San Francisco has selected a joint proposal from Google and EarthLink to run its citywide WiFi network. A panel of tech and municipal experts, which remained anonymous until the decision was announced, selected the two companies over MetroFi and four other bidders. Now city officials will begin neg...
