Wired Towns is proud to have two of the Top Ten — Union Square and Times Square, each built for Business Improvement Districts, the former for the Union Square Partnership, sponsored by The Syfy Channel, and the Yahoo! Wi-Fi Hot Zone, which we built for The Times Square Alliance.
But not mentioned, and certainly worthy of consideration, is what we did in Rockefeller Plaza and the Concourse at 30 Rock. You can connect from the tree and rink in Rockefeller Center, or underground in the three seating areas in the dining area below. A new network, and a good one!
And I am proud to have setup the Wagner Park spot for NYCwireless, nice to see it still going strong.
Well done Craig, have been visited and used.
