The Wi-Fi at Bryant Park has been a mobile feast: First, nycwireless put in service years ago. At some indeterminate point in time, that was taken over by the Public Internet Project, headed by the fellow who wardrove every street in Manhattan. Now Google is sponsoring access with PIP still running the show. Oddly, this was rumored in August 2004, and I never noticed it; has the sign been up all that time? The PIP site hasn't been updated since Fall 2003, and refers to Intel's previous sponsorship of Bryant Park. [link via Russell Shaw]
