From today’s Globe editorial promoting universal wireless in Boston:

Boston is trying to invent a more open model, with a network to be built and maintained by a newly created nonprofit using donated money. This nonprofit would pursue the civic mission and welcome commercial partners. So, for example, Verizon might offer low-cost e-mail service. [Emphasis added]

Great idea, you could call it Hotmail. Or maybe Gmail. No wait, how about…….
