Most can be found in the merchants’ windows.

@Link WiFi is paying for and maintaining the free WiFi Internet services in Bricktown.

Amybody who accesses financial data over public WiFi is just to stupid to live and deserves to be ripped-off of every cent they have in their accounts. Stupid is as Stupid does.

Again who is paying for thie “free” service???

Does sound like a lack of communication or marketing on their part.
It would also makes sense for DOKC to help play a role in this communication as well. I know all of Bricktown pays into the BID for that service.

They are double sided color and most merchants put them in the windows with their Visa/MasterCard decals. At one time @Link was going to do table tents but I think the Bricktown Association took that project over. Not sure how clearly WiFi was indicated on those….

These efforts have all been for Bricktown. The discussion started with Downtown. The need for downtown public WiFi should still be addressed the parameters and to what extent WiFi is needed – and for what objective. I see merit in a Free Public WiFi initiative for all of downtown, but then again I am quite bias! :)

How big are the stickers?

Some users go phishing with spy-wear to gain access to private information from other nearby, online users.

We distributed to the restaurants with our service in August 2010. We have more for those who need replacements.

Seems that as individual as we are, folks want different benefits from a wireless system. Restaurants like the benefit for patrons — but those in this business understand the need to “turn tables.” A traveler needs to work and would like to stay off his/her data minutes. Some just want WiFi for recreation. With this being a relatively new service we have yet to define how folks need/want to use it.

Thus blogs like this are a great forum to air WiFi needs and demands.

I’d like to know what WiFi users expect and need from their WiFi network.
