Waterfront WiFi

Apparently a good chunk of the Halifax waterfront is now a free WiFi hotspot. It seems that the Waterfront Development Corporation has decided to provide this service to the public.

I am curious to know how popular this service will be as, at least as far as I know, most of the area in question is outdoors. Do many people use wireless devices while outside? While I might use my iPod Touch, it seems unlikely that I will bring my laptop along to the waterfront with me (though I suspect that I am more likely to now than ever before).

Anyway, I guess I wish this program well as I like the idea of having at least some free internet connectivity in public places, particularly as I am not a cell phone user.
