cbs CBS will be offering Midtown Manhattan Free Wireless Internet Access.  This is terrific news for the folks that are in Manhattan either on a daily or occasional visit.  The opening screen will have ads but that is well worth the access.  You can check out the story here at CenterNetworks.

Some awesome news out of Manhattan today. CBS Corporation has announced today that it will "light up" midtown Manhattan with the creation of the "CBS Mobile Zone," a wireless high-speed network enabling New Yorkers with Wi-Fi-enabled cell phones, laptops or other devices to access the Internet for free, and make voice over internet (VOI) calls.

The zone will be from Times Square to Central Park South and from 6th Avenue to 8th Avenue and is a test in partnership with the MTA.

Thanks to Kevin Tofel from jkOnTheRun for finding this great tidbit of news!
