Now that the City of Naperville won't be able to provide free Internet service to the downtown area, it will have to look for a high-speed provider (WiMax) at a small fee to the user.
Obviously the city benefited from having a free service in the area to its residents and visitors, but will users opt for a service that has a small fee with it?
Don't know.
There are of course, a few other areas in the downtown space that provide free Internet.
But you can only spend so long in Starbucks; then again, maybe I'm wrong. I've seen people go through gallons of coffee in a matter of hours.
It was a nice perk in downtown Naperville, but not essential. We'll see how this shapes out.
