The Wi-Fi network, called “FREEinDOWNTOWN,” covers a two-block ra- dius of downtown Huntington, including Pullman Square, and it has been available since Aug. 14. “Having Wi-Fi for free throughout Huntington would allow students and residents alike to enjoy easy internet access,” Christopher Gist, a first-year student majoring in computer and information technology, said. Gist said in today’s world, the internet is used for such a large variety of services like contacting friends and family, ordering a ride and checking one’s bank account, and he thinks people should not have to pay for those services. Gist said he feels install- ing the Wi-Fi was a great idea, but he believes aware- “The internet has become ness needs to be raised because not enough people a basic necessity like currently know about it.

Public Wi-Fi would be beneficial to people all over town when they are in a situation that requires immediate internet access, Cover said. “Also, this could be especially beneficial for those who spend a lot of time downtown and those who may not be able to afford decent private Wi-Fi at home,” he said. “I think the city should try to inform more people about the Wi-Fi with fliers and possibly even email announcements. I have person- ally never seen either of those.” Cover said he was confident in Huntington’s ability to expand the Wi-Fi to cover the whole town and keep it secure throughout the process. “I’ve read about European cities doing this as well,” he said. “If it works Downtown Huntington offers a free Wi-Fi network that covers a two-block radius, including Pullman Square. well for them, I’m sure it can work great for us.” SADIE HELMICK | EXECUTIVE EDITOR Douglas Harding can be contacted at [email protected].
