seems to me Newsom likes to throw things at the wall to see what sticks....whether its legally binding or not. He's wise not to trust the Earthlink move though.... but didn't they already go through this when they requested bids for the muni-plans?

| This is why they need the Resident's Support
quote:
The measure would set aside up to $750,000 of city money - to be used as matching funds to private contributions - to renovate and maintain the stables.
While it may be free, it is costing tax payer's dollars not just in the $750,000 but in quite a bit of time it requires for city staff to put together RFPs, RFQ's, and general research.
It appears that, for once, a city wants their resident's input before they move forward with the project.

Re: Newsom
"The mayor's office negotiated a contract with EarthLink - with Google as a subcontractor - but supervisors want to strengthen privacy protections and increase the speed of the free service. They also want to shorten the length of the contract, issues that are all reflected in the nonbinding ballot measure that will go before voters this fall. "
It's not a done deal yet ...
Working with muni, they have to know they will change thier minds, demand extras not covered by contract, and drag thier feet paying up so they can all "touch the money". |

Re: This is why they need the Resident's Support
your comments on the $750k are for another ballot measure - not the Wi-Fi initiative. |

Reading the article I figured it was because of google partnering with Meraki:
"Meraki to Build Free Community WiFi Network in San Francisco"
I don't have the details, I just caught the quick blurb yesterday. |
