Marching on Washington? Try Surfing.

A group is installing free WiFi access here in D.C. on the National Mall, around the Capitol, and on the steps of the Supreme Court:

Members of the Open Park Project already have set up a wireless access point covering the Supreme Court and the Capitol and say they hope to extend wireless broadband coverage across the capital’s monument-filled core within a year.

Greg Staple, a director of the group, said free Internet access for anyone using a wireless-equipped laptop would enhance the traditions of free expression and democracy embodied in the public buildings and monuments that line the two-mile grassy strip.
