TechDirt reports that the Wi-Fi network built to cover the island of Niue has been shut down: Apparently the free network that covered the entire Polynesian island was built without proper authorization from the government.
This is a case of the government shooting itself in the foot. Only between 1,000 and 2,000 people live on the island (reports vary). Yachters stop by the island a lot and have enjoyed the network. If Wi-Fi draws tourists and their dollars, you'd think the government would support the idea.
