From YouTube: Here/now: Know Your Arlington Wireless
Description
A segment of AVN's magazine show, "Here/now", "Know Your..." provides a behind the scenes look at how our county government actually works. In this episode, we take a look at the recent launch of free public Wi-Fi in Shirlington, as well as some of the other public wireless spots the county has created.
A
A
All
a
part
of
the
county's
general
vision
for
communication,
public
Wi-Fi,
is
definitely
the
wave
of
the
future.
More
and
more
people
have
come
to
expect
wireless
connections
when
they
go
to
coffee
shop
parks.
This
is
where
communications
is
heading
in
Arlington.
We
believe
in
being
ahead
of
the
curve,
not
behind
the
public
Wi-Fi
initiative
in
arlington
uses
existing
technology.
We
already
own
and
operate
to
give
us
access
to
the
Internet
in
our
public
spaces.
It's
efficient,
it's
economical
and
it's
even
environmentally
sound.
Oh.
B
A
That's
exactly
right
fact:
we're
using
public
Wi-Fi
access
as
a
way
to
make
destination
points
like
shirlington
more
attractive
here
in
shirlington.
This
is
a
place
that
has
been
designed
to
bring
people
together
and
enjoy
the
Town
Square
feeling
it's
got
shopping,
eateries
entertainment.
So
it
makes
perfect
sense
to
bring
the
internet
here
too
to
further
that
community
feeling.
We've
also
got
Wi-Fi
and
the
new
transportation
center
right
around
the
corner.
You
can
get
online
while
you're
waiting
for
your
bus.
A
Oh
no
shirlington
is
just
the
latest
place
where
we've
brought
the
wireless
service.
You
can
access
our
only
two
wireless
in
the
area.
Around
courthouse,
Plaza
Wi-Fi
is
also
available
at
the
farmers
market
on
Saturdays
in
the
courthouse
parking
lot
and
we
hope
to
have
it
the
new
cultural
center
when
it
opens
in
Rosslyn.
Again
we
try
to
put
Wi-Fi
at
destination
points
in
the
community
where
people
naturally
gather
so
it
will
get
the
greatest
use
and
they're.
