Spokane may drop free wireless Internet service

For the past six years people have referred to it as Spokane’s HotZone. Within a year or so, it could be the Spokane HotZone Museum.

City and business leaders started the free wireless Wi-Fi area in 2004, eventually creating a 100-square-block area across downtown Spokane.

Today the zone is on its last legs. People can find the signal most of the time, but frequently it’s a weak Internet connection.

That is, when they even bother looking for the signal at all.
