U.S. Senator Charles E. Schumer asked the New York Metropolitan Transportation Authority to fast track plans to bring free wireless Internet to the Long Island Railroad. Saying that the technology is readily available, Schumer indicated that the project could be eligible for funding under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. “The time for high-speed Internet on rapid transit is right now,” said Schumer. “It is long past time to bring the LIRR in to the twenty-first century, and wireless Internet will make commuting more productive and pleasant for LIRR riders.” Link to full press release from Senator Schumer’s office.
