Things aren't going well regarding the plan to deploy free WiFi networks in a number of New York City parks.
According to this story in today's New York Post, there seems to be quite a bit of bureaucratic bungling going in the city's Department of Parks and Recreation, including the demanding of a $1.5 million insurance policy from a community group who wanted to install a free hotspot at Dag Hammarskjold Plaza, which is just outside the United Nations complex.
It looks like there are a lot of parties that are involved in this project and it appears that everyone is chasing each other's tail in circles.
