Proposal
To purchase three wifi hot spots, for use by on-site occupiers and the media working group. A computer will be setup (possibly in the library tent) for general use by on-site occupiers. In the event of an emergency, these devices would be distributed by the media working group to certain on-site and off-site individuals for the express purpose of video live-streaming. The purchase will be coordinated with the financial accountability working group.
Cost Estimate:
The cost would be ~$180 for the devices, ~$60 for the battery extenders, and ~$150 a month for the unlimited 4g data plans. For a total of ~$390 for the first month and ~$150 per month following to be paid on a month by month basis.

Hi, I just read an article posted on the website of WIRED magazine: Occupy Boston Gets Legal Cover by a reporter named Quinn Norton.
In case you folks did not know, Quinn Norton is a government informant. See this court document in the current federal prosecution of MIT hacker Aaron Swartz.
Be Careful!

This is the headline of the evening? How many Americans who are worried about their jobs, mortgages and the loss of their 401-K’s do you think give a flying fuck about your wi-fi access??
Not one single word on this site about the failure of the Super Committee, which speaks directly to Wall Street’s control of government.
Congress’s Wall Street masters said that no taxes would be imposed on the rich and Republicans on the Committee genuflected and made it so.
THAT’S the issue.
