This paper explores three Canadian wireless network projects that demonstrate that Wi-Fi technologies, like landline telephones, radio, and hydro, can be used to bring services to local communities. It is our position that despite the strengths and weaknesses of Fredericton's eZone, Montreal's Ile Sans Fil, and the Lac Seul network in Northern Ontario, these three highlighted Wi-Fi net- works demonstrate that a public information utilities model is still a useful lens through which to understand the development and implementation of telecom- munications in Canada. Through our case studies, we have observed that in order for municipally based and community Wi-Fi networks to successfully take root in a community, it is advantageous to build on existing technological infra- structure. Moreover, municipal and community needs must be considered in the project. Finally, a cohort of interested advocates from the region is needed.
