Windows Phone Thoughts: Toronto To Become Giant WiFi Hotspot?

"Toronto Hydro Corp. will announce Tuesday that it plans to turn Canada's largest city into one giant wireless hotspot, directly challenging the country's major mobile phone carriers for a chunk of the $8 billion a year wireless market. With the deployment, which sources say could be available in the downtown core as early as this fall, Toronto joins a growing list of North American cities, including Philadelphia, New Orleans and San Francisco, that have announced plans to bring low-cost, broadband wireless access to their citizens and businesses."

If you live in Toronto, your connectivity may take a radical turn for the better in the coming months. This sounds like a very ambitious project, and I can't imagine the logistics of something like this. It will certainly shake up the Internet service providers in Toronto, that's for sure! Does anyone live in a city where they've done this? What has it done for you in terms of change how you interact with the online world? Blessing, curse, other?
