WiFi On Main Streets In Hyde
Park
|
|
Boston
Main Streets WiFi: A public private partnership to
bringing free wireless internet access to Main Street Communities Click
picture for more information.
What
exactly is WiFi? Hyde Park Main Streets is pleased to be one of
three trial neighborhoods to launch WiFi (Wireless Internet Access) through
an Initiative with Boston Main Streets to continue our efforts to bring
technology to the business district. Several members of the Hyde Park
business community came to our monthly Networking Breakfast this past
week to find out more about it. Brian Goodman from BMS was on hand to
explain and answer questions.
We
have already sited the first antenna on the roof of the Hyde Park
Community Center. When we approached Robert Hickey of the
Community Center. he was immediately receptive and agreed to the installation.
Now we are in the midst of testing the signal which reaches to the
Prudential Bldg. downtown. Imagine customers with lap tops drinking a
cup of coffee and checking their e-mails at Dottie’s, or college
students doing research online while having a slice at the River Street
Grille. Brian gave us a vision of not only having individual businesses
set up as "hotspots" but having Hyde Park being known as a
"wireless or WiFi community".
In
an effort to assist local businesses interested in the WiFi Network,
Boston Main Streets has made available a WiFi Business Package that
includes:
- Discounted Hardware
(Optional)
- Installation
(Optional)
- FREE installation
available for a limited number of businesses.
- Promotion (Available
to any Business accessing the Main Streets WiFi Hotspot)
- Listing as a WiFi
Hotspot on the Main Streets WiFi Directory
- A "Boston Main
Streets WiFi Hotspot" window decal.
Making
the district more attractive to customers and providing the technology
to small businesses to capture new markets, this is Hyde Park Main
Streets leading the way to benefit our “small town in the city.”

Hyde Park Main Streets is planning a
donation can drive to collect funds for Hurricane Katrina Relief. All Hyde Park Businesses are asked to contact
us at the HPMS office ASAP if you would like to display a can as part
of our local relief efforts. Everyone has been touched by this tragedy
and there are many great ways to assist, this will be another way for
the Hyde Park community, both residents and businesses to come together
and make a contribution to the relief efforts.
The cans will be collected on
December 19th in time for a holiday donation. The Hyde Park Cooperative Bank has offered to
convert the money raised into a donation check. BMS Paper Co. has
donated 50 collection cans to HPMS for display in local businesses. The
Hyde Park Bulletin has offered to publish without charge a listing of
all participating businesses. All proceeds will be split between The
American Red Cross and The Salvation Army.

Help Your Neighbors Stay

 Paul's
Bridge in Hyde Park
Most of you receive only an e-mail
version of our monthly newsletter, however, you may not realize that we
send out hundreds of letters to our Hyde Park neighbors who do not have
Internet access. For a long time, one volunteer, Pat Adamczyk provided
a great service to Hyde Park Main Streets by folding & stuffing our
monthly newsletter for us. With on average over 500 envelopes to be
stuffed, this task is a great example of how truly volunteer driven our
organization is and how we depend on volunteers for important
contributions of their time.
Since Pat has taken a well earned
retirement from this task, we have been looking to find someone or a
group interested in helping HPMS send out our newsletter in a timely
fashion. We need you! This is volunteer contribution that can be
done at home, literally delivered to your doorstep, but one that
represents an active and invaluable contribution to our Program.
There are also other opportunities
to contribute. For
example, anyone who enjoys working with designing albums/editing
photographs for posting to our web site. Please let us know if you
are interested in helping with the mailing or if you have some other
special skills you could bring to your community.
