Dana Spiegel covers the release of a new request for proposals for parks in New York City: The first proposal, released two years ago, covered 17 parks. Wi-Fi Salon won that bid and apparently has just a single park deployed; their model was to find sponsorship. The new RFP covers six parks, mostly in Brooklyn, and requires the winner to offer free access. But Spiegel, the head of community group nycwireless, notes that a franchise fee of some sort is required and a $700 application fee among other requirements or parameters he finds fault with.
