O.K. don’t freak out. the news of the giant net soon to be covering downtown [p-i] is of the wireless internet variety (as opposed to the capturing supervillains or stray dogs sort). Now that we’ve worked that part out, don’t get too excited: the superfast internet that will be filling the city air isn’t target at those of us accustomed to hanging out in cafés with free WiFi.

Instead, it’s something called WiMax that’s currently priced for corporate consumers or individuals willing to spend $600 per month to have high speed internet. Read more about the technology in Wired [#] and be amazed that something from last month’s magazine is showing up in this year’s reality.
