It was recently announced that Time Warner Cable and Cablevision will be partnering in a joint venture to bring free wireless Internet access to 32 New York City Parks. The service will be available free in 10-minute intervals up to three times a day for non-subscribers, and is free (with no time limits) for all Cablevision and Time Warner subscribers.
The service will be particularly effective for the over 52 million tourists who visit the city each year. International data charges are astronomically priced. This free service will enable tourists and New Yorkers alike to access the Internet, make Skype calls, send iMessages, and stay connected to their digital world.
Expect to see this service popping up in the next couple of months. The deal is signed through 2020, but I expect the service to last indefinitely.
