Today we proudly launched our Wi-Fi network in the City of Milpitas, CA. As part of the launch festivities, for the next 30 days Wi-Fi access will be completely free. We invite residents and visitors to try out the service throughout the city. The service will be $21.95/month with speeds up to 1 mbps down and up, $3.95 for a 1-hour pass or $15.95 for a 3-day pass.

Although I couldn't be there in person for the festivites in Milpitas this morning, I took my own personal tour of Flickr photos tagged with Milpitas and geotagged to the area and found a great diversity of stuff (and lots of delicious-looking food) including:
- Carne Asada fries
- Cream Puffs
- Filipino Fiesta
- Youth softball
- City Hall at night
- Lu'au Practice
- The Milpitas monster?
- A firing range
- An old time Fourth of July parade
- A cool old vintage sign
There's also an excellent Milpitas photo essay on the Mercury News site.
Update:
The team sent a few photos from yesterday's event.
