wifi in the circle

The Washington Post reports this morning that free wifi may be available in Dupont Circle beginning this weekend:

District-based TechAssist LLC will provide free wireless Internet access in Dupont Circle starting Friday, the information technology consulting firm said yesterday.

The wireless access will work inside the area and may work on surrounding blocks, said Nick Vossburg, president of TechAssist…

Users will automatically be directed to the Dupont Wireless Web site, which contains the TechAssist logo, along with the project’s sponsors, Allied Telecom Group, Jurys Doyle Hotels and the Koltun and King law firm…

TechAssist will consider installing wireless access in Adams Morgan and McPherson Square in the future, he said.

Other existing free public wifi spots in the District, mentioned in the story:

  • Capitol Hill
  • Freedom Plaza
  • Pershing Park

There’s also a plan for free wifi on the Mall.
