WiFi for Mardi Gras

In the wake of Katrina, New Orleans has deployed a free WiFi network throughout the central downtown and French Quarter parts of the city. This network is used to help police and municipal communications with much of the local infrastructure still damaged, but private citizens and visitors can use it as well. So if your hotel does not offer WiFi as part of its amenities, there is a good chance that you can still check your email while collecting those beads and watching the parades. Happy Fat Tuesday!
