sf.citi Helps Bring wi-fi to SF Parks

Wed, 2013-08-07 18:31 — Kathy Gilbeaux

sfciti.com - July 25, 2013

Yesterday, sf.citi participated in a press conference with Mayor Ed Lee and Supervisor Mark Farrell to announce an exciting new project to bring wi-fi to 31 parks, plazas and open spaces throughout San Francisco.  sf.citi is proud to be partnering with the City and member company Google, who is providing a $600,000 gift to fund this initiative.

Free wireless service will help close the digital divide in communities where Internet access is limited, as well as increase government efficiency by providing our city’s Recreation and Park Department’s staff with more tools to more effectively manage their recreation centers and community programs.
