AT&T Offering Free WiFi in New York City Parks

One of the interesting and, perhaps, not-so-subtle messages during Steve Jobs’ keynote presentation at Apple’s World Wide Developers Conference (WWDC) on Monday was that WiFi access is the key to making cloud services work well. Mobile carriers have decreased 3G data plans to levels that may become uncomfortable when using data heavy services like streaming music or video. Verizon Wireless, for example, charges $20 per month for 1GB of data use. 1GB is less than the size of a single HD movie.
