Hangin' With The Mayor

UPDATE!! I will be hosting a live moderated chat with Mayor White this coming Wednesday, May 17, at 6:30pm. This will be the Mayor's first online chat open to the public. Log on to my site at that date/time to ask questions about the City's WiFi proposal or other tech-related questions.

We will be holding this online chat outside in front of City Hall. Imagine if we had a WiFi network everywhere - we could hold a chat like this anywhere in the city. Plus, I will bring my webcam to allow for a simultaneous videoconference. Hook up your cam so we can see you, too.

What do Mayor Bill White and I have in common? Not our hair. Not really our politics. Certainly not our net worths. Ah, our love of technology and the priority of moving it forward.

The City of Houston is getting ready to close its RFP process for wiring (or rather UNwiring) the 600+ square miles of H-Town. But do you think the city needs a WiFi bubble? Unsure of how much it will cost? When will it be built out?

Now is your chance to ask the Mayor. He will be joining me live this Saturday to talk about the city WiFi project. Want to join the Q&A? Tune in at High Noon on TalkRadio 950 KPRC or pop a comment here.
