BROADBAND PUBLIC INTERNET
ACCESS POINTS
CORTES ISLAND
CORTES COMMUNITY WIFI SOCIETY
Assisted in part by a grant
from the Community
Access Program (CAP), administered
by Islands Communities Network,
and
managed by
the Cortes
Community Wifi Society, these sites
offer broadband public Internet access, and at least one
easy-to-use public terminal, so residents
and visitors can connect to the Internet, browse the World Wide Web,
and
check their Webmail.
The Cortes Community Wifi Society currently operates three sites in the Manson's Landing area; Cortes Island Natural Food Co-op, Sunset Restaurant, and Cortes Market. Another site is planned to open soon at Trude's Cafe, in Whaletown.
All sites feature a wireless hot spot so people with 802.11b/g (Wifi) enabled laptops or PDAs can access the broadband connection.
A donation (and suggestion) box at each site, provides an opportunity for you to help defray the costs of providing this valuable service. Your contribution helps to pay for broadband service provided by Twincomm Communications, or Xplornet.
Your suggestions are valuable too, and help us improve the service. Please tell us what you like (and what you don't), and suggest improvements or features you'd like to see offered in the future.
