Wi-Fi Laid Low

Wi-Fi firm faces legal action over delays in St. Louis Park:

St. Louis Park had set its sights on having the nation's first citywide wireless Internet service powered by the sun.

But those dreams have been clouded by reality.

The City Council will vote Monday on whether to find Arinc -- the Wi-Fi system's Maryland-based contractor -- in default of its contract, in part because the project is months behind schedule.

Last spring, the city told residents to expect service by June.

This summer, it told them to expect service by fall.

This fall, it said to expect service by Nov. 30.

Now, the city isn't even guessing.

Your government at work. Or in this case, my government. Who would ever have thought that the city's attempt to provide internet service might not be such a great idea?
