The document argues that free public Wi-Fi networks should be established across large areas of the United States. It notes that some cities and places already provide free Wi-Fi spots and questions why a nationwide free network is not possible.

Supporters believe a free nationwide Wi-Fi network would promote innovation, economic opportunities, and help connect people to jobs, family and friends.
