I think that funkfeuer is the way to go for the future, but  
NYCwireless has a good strategy for now: encourage everyone to NOT  
put passwords on their wifi.  So many people have their own network  
connection with a wifi router on it.  If everyone opened their access  
point, the wifi network in Manhattan would easily rival the mobile  
phone networks.  As of now, I'd say about 20% of NYC wifi networks  
are open.  Plus the city is paying to set up free wifi in parks  
around the city.  There are quite a lot more open networks in NYC  
than other places from my informal poll.

What I like to say is: if you have ever used an open wifi access  
point, then you are obligated to share yours, otherwise you are  
stealing from the community.
