Big Things a Happenin’

Just a quick update on Y-FI:

We’re meeting regularly with businesses downtown and and people are getting excited.  When they get excited WE get excited.  

So Who are we looking to meet with?

We want to meet with everyone who wants to know more about Y-FI.  This is a community effort brought together by people who see this as a major tool to encourage people to stay downtown.  From our About Us Statement:

Y-FI is a York, Pennsylvania, community-based wireless internet mesh network venture focused on the delivery of secure, free Wi-Fi services to downtown visitors, commercial and residential property owners. The Y-FI mission is to help everyone gain access to technology and the internet by partnering with businesses, community organizations and local residents.

We NEED the help of everyone who wants to participate.  We need people willing to share bandwidth.  We need people willing to give Y-FI financial support to help us purchase hardware and spread the network. We need people who are forward thinking and willing to help us push this project ahead.

So Where are we headed?

We have a big partnership coming together that will be the springboard for Y-FI and we can’t wait to announce it. We’re also excited to be meeting with several different community groups that have ideas at how Y-FI can be useful to their causes.  We hope Y-FI helps change the way internet access happens in York City!
