WAGZone Resting and Retooling

In 2003 the New Media Institute created one of the world’s first municipal wireless initiatives – the Wireless Athens Georgia Zone (WAGZone). Anywhere in downtown Athens you can gain free access to the internet through the WAGZone. Well, you can do that anytime other than the next two weeks. Summer is always a down time for Athens. With the students gone, it is easier to take care of a lot of public work stuff. Athens-Clarke County is painting all of its light’s poles. That means we had to take the WAGZone down to paint and we can’t put it back up until everything is done and dry. So if you can’t get the WAGZone for the next couple of weeks, be patient. I will let you know as soon as it is ready again. And the poles will look amazing!
