For those of us who can’t bear to be without internet access, things are getting a whole lot easier in Vermont. Within the coming weeks, Windsor will launch a Wi-Fi zone for its downtown, making it the twenty-sixth and final town to benefit from the Vermont Digital Economy Project. But this didn’t come about without a few technical challenges. Caitlin Lovegrove is the Network and Outreach Coordinator for the Vermont Digital Economy Project and she explains the process of setting up these networks.
