Several companies are working to install Wi-Fi coverage across the city.

Comcast is installing more than 500 hot spots this year. AT&T has installed more than 50 new hot spots, and EPB is jumping on the bandwagon as well.

Covering the city with wi-fi will make it easier to work from anywhere, be it a patio or a park.

Comcast says it sped up plans to provide the service after it realized city officials don't plan to open up the government wi-fi network.

Comcast says its network will be free to Xfinity subscribers. Everyone else will get two free hours a month. If you need more time, it'll cost you -- $3 dollars an hour or $8 dollars for a day.
