FREE Internet places?

(This question comes from Anita... a great question, especially for the inner-city, or seniors or others not typically having good access to the new paradigm tools....)

Free Internet (often Wireless) AND you can use their computers for free...

• Unleavened Bread Cafe -- a ministry to the inner-city, at 30th x Central... Indianapolis.  And wireless!
• NeighborhoodCafes.com -- just getting started MAPPING to some Christian ministries offering free internet.
• (and we'll try to enumerate other similar places asap... stay tuned... or help us if you can).
• LIBRARIES are a key place to go these days.  Almost all libraries now offer computers.

Free Internet (Wireless) -- but you have to bring your own laptop.

• Panera Bread locations
•  
•  

Free Internet Help...

• Ask Anything Saturday.
• Many libraries offer assistance.  (details anyone???)
• Some workforce locations offer assistance in conjunction with Employment.
• Eg... Jobs Partnership (a Christian jobs-training ministry).
• GospelPedia... an UrbanMinistry.org wiki affiliated with TechMission.org -- great sites!
• Stay in touch with this IT voluteering page at ICCM wiki.
• Computer Help via PHONE ???   (Let's try to find or build such a Help system -- We'll talk with Hursel and with TechMission.)
•  

Free Internet FUTURE???

• Some cities are now piloting programs to offer wireless internet throughout the city, much like they provide streets, utilities, cable, etc.... Internet is the primary repository of information and a road to economic success.  Does that then NOT create an imperative for community/government/society to strive to provide this common service to its constituencies?
• In the meantime, innovative churches, cafes, and businesses have begun the trend to provide this low-cost, high-value to their constituencies.
• Also... in the UBcafe neighborhood, there is a movement afoot, to get a grant to provide the whole neighborhood with FREE wireless access to the web.  Stay tuned.
