Petition to Improve City Provided Wi-Fi (TIWirless) Connectivity on Treasure Island
Last Updated on Tuesday, 22 November 2011 08:22
Good Neighbors is circulating a petition to encourage the Dept. of Techonology to improve the quality of the free WiFi service (TIWireless) that was established on the Island. Our deadline to collect signatures is Sunday, Nov. 27th.
All residents of Treasure Island/Yerba Buena Island are encouraged to sign the petition regardless of incomse status.
To sign the petition electronically, click on this link. If you would like to help collect signatures please send an email to
This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it
.
The wording of the petition is as follows:
We, the undersigned residents of Treasure Island, respectfully petition that the San Francisco Department of Technology invest resources to improve the free community Wi-Fi established in 2009.
Internet access is vital in today’s world, and we are very appreciative to CISCO for the donation of the equipment and to the City of San Francisco for including our community in the wireless initiative. However, since its implementation we have had many complaints about connectivity, lack of communication, and little or no apparent improvement in the service
Though initiated to provide internet connectivity to low-income residents, this service is not fulfilling that promise for most on the Island. Please help to fulfill the worthy goal of bridging the digital divide by providing us the service and tools necessary to truly provide the bridge that was intended and is being provided in other areas of SF for low income tenants.
