From the April issue of Alexandria Government Updates:
City to Pilot Free, Outdoor, Wireless Internet Access
The City will launch a pilot project this month to provide free, wireless Internet access in public spaces. The service will be available to anyone using a "Wi-Fi" enabled laptop or personal digital assistant (PDA). The pilot project will cover the King Street corridor in Old Town between Washington Street and the waterfront, including Market Square and the City Marina. Depending on building locations and other conditions, coverage will be available for some distance around that corridor in each direction.

According to today's Washington Post, this service became available this week. While the geek in me thinks this is really cool, I have to admit that having wireless service available in the historic heart of Alexandria seems like an anachronism.
