WAGZone - downtown area - from Thomas St. to Hull St. and from Broad to
Dougherty

http://www.cio.com/archive/031503/campus.html says "With
nine Wi-Fi transmission boxes spread around downtown, the WAGZone welcomes
laptops and PDAs fitted with wireless networking cards. Users get access to
WAGZone content, and if they are University of Georgia (UGA) students or
faculty, they also have access to the Internet."

be competition to Internet service providers. "If we undercut the ISPs, then the
Internet would dry up and go away," he says. ") but, OTHER SOURCES
