Today’s recognition is our third. Our first was last February when Express quoted Chris Kaftan’s post analyzing the Mohammed cartoon controversy, and the second was last March’s excerpt from Adam’s blog post about the D.C. government soliciting bids for free Wi-Fi coverage across the District. This also represents the first DeafDC.com quote about a deaf-related topic. Evidently, hearing people (or Express editors) are just as interested in our little community as we are. Again - thank you for being a part of DeafDC.com; it’s your support that makes our increased visibility and relevance possible. So - thanks! P.S. Didn’t get to pick up today’s Express for some bizarre reason? Download it here. Look at page 31. Caution, though - it’s a really, really big PDF. I mean, big.

The Federal government mostly bans wi-fi within Federal buildings, so any wi-fi solution would need to somehow exclude any Federal territory (there's a region in DC that's administered by the Federal government...National Capitol Region or something). Still, Dupont Circle has wireless, and they seem fine so far. I don't think there's any Federal bldgs nearby tho.

Tim, Adam quotes the DC not federal government which are different, right? i confess to never understanding that ridiculous setup. barcelona is almost all wireless now, isn’t it? and london’s expected to follow suit. there’s quite a few wireless spots in NYC now.

Should a DC resident really care about what the Federal government thinks? Wouldn't it be funny if DC residents refuse to recognize the government until it provides us with voting representatives in Congress.
