"power to the people" ? no wi-fi power to the people!

SAN FRANCISCO -- "The Westside Courts is a bleak concrete housing project in the city's Western Addition where violence is closer than a high-speed net connection, and one resident's first steps online include plans to create a memorial for the people who've died here...

Unlike typical muni Wi-Fi networks, the Westside radios sit inside people's apartments, not strapped to public utility poles. They run custom firmware that gives the radios the intelligence to self-configure into an ad-hoc user-generated network -- so they can be moved from one apartment to another without manual reconfiguration....

But Meraki is more optimistic about Wi-Fi. In early March the company announced that, as an experiment, it would give away Wi-Fi repeaters in four San Francisco neighborhoods, with the goal of bathing parts of the city in free internet."

1. Great Story, Thanks!

One small issue - there should be a comma after "no" in the subject.

Changes the meaning.
