Esme, please disregard my earlier comment today regarding Aurora, Chicago and Naperville. With a little more of a carefull look at your listings on page 5, we see that you have already included these municipalities. The only thing we may be able to add is that it appears as though MetroFi has been awarded the contract for Aurora and will likely pick up Naperville as well.

We would still appreciate any help finding a listing of passenger trains in the U.S. that offer wireless service.

Thanks again for your efforts.

These wireless cities are popping up everwhere and they are really great! Unfortunately, when the wireless signal is not alwas the best I use the “Wi-Fire” which helps me to get a fast and clear internet signal from municipal wireless areas when I am at home and when I am traveling! This small divice plugs right into m computer and ensures a stronger connection in these wirelss cities.

You can add two cities to the list. Santa Rosa, CA and Petaluma, CA. Both are in early stages of deployment, we’ve covered the downtown regions only. Sonic.net is building both networks.

Indeed, Dana is correct. Clarke County is in Alabama, not Arizona. I mixed up AL with AZ. I will update this list shortly.

There appears to be a bit of a typo on the last page: Arizona doesn’t have a Clarke County. Perhaps it should read “Clarke County, AL”? That county is doing a feasibility study as is Clark County, NV. Regardless, thanks for updating this very helpful list. It’s nice to have it all in one place!
