Eileen Spillane down the road at RI Twelfth has a good take on the RI-WINS presentation at CCRI yesterday.

Savvy political observer that she is, she notes who was in the crowd (including Paiva Weed, who is said to be a supporter) and the observation that Verizon is lobbying against the measure. But go read the whole thing.

This is an incredibly exciting opportunity — we've already got a strong tech presence in Portsmouth, and imagine the kinds of companies we might attract by adding ubiquitous wireless to our outstanding quality of life. I think I saw Portsmouth director of business development Bill Clarke at CCRI, and I'm sure the potential is not lost on his team.
