Searching for WiFi

This morning I'm in Spokane, waiting for Kristen to finish her half day of teaching so we can get on the road and head to Tacoma. My plan was to sit in a coffee shop down the road from her school and surf the Internet using their free WiFi. The problem is that their free wireless Internet is really slow and I kept getting kicked off the network. So I decided to hunt for some free wireless signals in the neighborhood. I've ended up at the local library, which has a pretty good connection. Wouldn't it be nice if cities or companies decided to provide free wireless coverage of their whole municipality? Google's done it in Mountainview, California. I know that this would be costly and difficult to implement, but it would definitely benefit the whole community and maybe even stimulate the economy.
