Time Warner Cable Launches Wi-Fi in LA

The move follows on the heels of Cablevision, who on the east coast spent a few extra million to provide NYC metro-area customers with free Wi-Fi along commute routes and in parks. Not-particularly-creatively dubbed TWC Wi-Fi, the $15 million network will provide users service in both Los Angeles and Orange counties, though initially over a relatively small forty mile zone in Southern California. Time Warner Cable users get service for free, but non-customers can access the service for $2.95 for one hour, $6.95 for a day; $19.95 for a week or $49.95 for a monthly plan.
