Little Tokyo Beats Us to the Digitized Punch!

OK, so we've broken ground(as of tomorrow) on city-wide Wifi in Little Tokyo of all places, and, ironically, this on the day while Antonio is giving his State of the City Address downtown. Thus, we have three blocks of L.A. now covered by a wireless "cloud", while the rest of us pay cable companies, T-Mobile, and Starbucks for our digital fix.

So we here at the Koreatown Chronicle have to ask our quite photogenic, yet not-always-very-available, mayor, "Why, Mr. Villaraigosa, does Little Tokyo now have a municipal WiFi umbrella, while the rest of Los Angeles is left to its own devices? Wasn't it one of your much-hyped projects to produce a completely wireless Los Angeles, or did that idea get lost at the last City Council Meeting?"
