City of NOLA Launches Free WiFi

Similar projects elsewhere have been stalled by stiff opposition from telephone and cable television companies aimed at discouraging competition from public agencies - CNN.com (11/29/05)

Today the free Internet covers the French Quarter and the central business district. The mayor says it'll cover the rest of the city in a year.

NOLA's available services are pretty extreme. Some areas have free wireless Internet. Others don't have electricity back yet. I think it'd help to have these differences displayed and updated on a virtual map of the city.
