Kind words from webnames.ca just made One Degree blush. “RSS and Subscription worthy”? We were hoping for sponge-worthy but we’ll take that as high praise.

I got a pleasant surprise in my mailbox the other day – a hand-written thank-you note from “fellow blogger”:http://www.twistimage.com/blog/ and CMA course instructor Mitch Joel:
Patrick Dinnen is a volunteer with the Wireless Toronto community group. Wireless Toronto launched in Spring 2005 with the goal of encouraging the growth of wireless networking and building community in interesting and innovative ways.
Since their launch, Wireless Toronto have formed partnerships with local businesses to create a network of free-to-use WiFi hotspots across the GTA. As well as hotspots in cafes, bars and restaurants Wireless Toronto switched on a free WiFi network covering the St Lawrence Market building in November 2005, creating Toronto’s largest public WiFi zone.
*One Degree:* “Patrick, what does the “Toronto Hydro WiFi blanket announcement”:http://www.thtelecom.ca/one-zone.html mean to Toronto and to the “Wireless Toronto”:http://wirelesstoronto.ca/ initiative?”
*Patrick Dinnen:* Thinking about these questions I come back to the goals of Wireless Toronto ‘a not-for-profit group dedicated to bringing no-fee wireless Internet access to Toronto. Our aim is to encourage the growth of wireless networking and to build community in interesting and innovative ways’. From that point of view, I think there’s much to be positive about in Toronto Hydro’s announcement.
Although we got some more details from Toronto Hydro today there are still a lot of unanswered questions. But right now, here’s what I feel:
Availability of competitively priced WiFi Internet access in 100% of the downtown core, which Toronto Hydro’s plan calls for, is a great move forward for Toronto residents, businesses and visitors.
