Ian Keldoulis interviewed me and John Geraci for an article “Where Good Wi-Fi Makes Good Neighbors”:1 in the New York Times October 21st Circuits section on our “Community Hotspot project”:2.

bq. This arrangement comes courtesy of Neighbornode, a project created by John Geraci that is part of a bare-bones software package provided by NYCWireless, a volunteer advocacy group instrumental in turning places like Bryant Park into public hot spots. The group is encouraging people to set up their own hot spots and electronic bulletin boards to let communities of otherwise anonymous urbanites find one another.

According to Dana Spiegel, the event’s producer and a director at NYCwireless, “Spectropolis was an amazing success, bringing thousands of people from New York and around the world to Lower Manhattan to experience new wireless art.
