So far, so good for WiFi Pittsburgh

Despite a few kinks here and there, it appears the WiFi Pittsburgh service in the city's downtown area has been fairly successful since its launch in September. Users can log on to the network as many times as they want for free as long as their total usage is under two hours. After that, it'll cost you.

The writer of this story tested the service at a number of locations within the area, and it seemed she was able to get a reasonably fast connection virtually anywhere she logged on. There are currently 60 access points within the Golden Triangle, so the service's users are not far from a hotspot. So far, this limited launch of WiFi Pittsburgh is gaining more users over time, and it'll be interesting to see if this concept will stretch throughout the entire city.
