And they don’t mean limited hours of the day, limited locations, or a limited amount of time you can be on. No, when they say “limited,” they mean that they will censor access to parts of the Internet. (”By using this free wireless network you are agreeing and acknowledging you have read and accepted these terms and conditions of use, and this wireless network provides only limited access to the Internet.”) In other words, they do not offer Internet access at all. As the Dynamic Platform Standards Project points out so well, anyone offering access to a “limited Internet” is engaged in false and deceptive advertising because a “limited Internet” is an oxymoron.

The catch comes in with the city gets to pick what sites you can go to. The people are getting free access to the Internet but giving up one of their 1st amendment rights. I guess that’s why they say nothing in life is free. [...] […] Culver City, California, announced that the city would offer free wifi access to the Internet.
