You guys living in T.O. are lucky! You get free Wireless Internet Access in your downtown area! Here is what this service is all about and how you can access it (from CityNews)

Toronto’s downtown core has gone wireless.

Toronto Hydro rolled out the city’s free Wi-Fi – or wireless Internet access – Wednesday morning. The service will be free for six months – and will allow people wireless access to the World Wide Web throughout the downtown rather than solely at pre-existing Wi-Fi hotspots, generally cafes and restaurants.

The project is the largest of its kind in North America, and Mayor David Miller is enthusiastic it’ll be successful.

The signal will be available from Jarvis St. in the east to Spadina Ave. in the west, and from Front St. to the south, north as far as Bloor St. Customers will also be able to make phone calls over the Internet and, in time, watch video.

Q: How do I access One Zone?

A: To gain access to One Zone WiFi follow the easy steps below.

* Open your WiFi enabled device
* Use the network connections manager on your WiFi enabled device to view available wireless networks.
* Select the SSID One Zone_High Speed Internet
* Open your web browser and visit the new user page.
* Enter your mobile phone number in the space provided.
* You will instantly receive a text message containing your username and password.
* Enter your username and password.
* Start surfing.
* Your username and password will remain valid for free service until March 2007

I got a couple of people asking me if they could submit their baby photo without a Canadian flag since they already have photos taken (with no flag)… so to make it simpler, no flag is needed, just a photo of your baby.
