What people think about our public free internet...
June 11, 2009We received the following e-mail:
Hi
I just wanted to say thank you for the great forward thinking of Lawrence. I was pleasantly surprised when I got a wireless signal when in Lawrence and was able to check email and such on my laptop. It meant that I didn't have to rely on slower and costly Vodafone GPRS. If only more places in NZ were as forward thinking. The cities don't even have this sort of service.
Cheers
Jayson
