Workers are getting ready to launch Canandaigua's wireless Internet system on a rooftop in the center of town.
Businesses like the Pickering Pub are ready to offer their customers a chance to sit outside and use their laptops.
However, Pickering Pub owner Chris Greenlee said, "They haven't given me any information to give out."
Greenlee and many of his customers wonder, "Where will it work?"
The signal will start in Commons Park in the center of town and will go for about a quarter mile in all directions.
That means some of the most popular areas to hang out won't get the signal including the city pier and a popular waterfront park.
However, that range could be expanded. Canandaigua city planners said they might add more antennae around town, increasing the signal. But for now, they're confining wireless Internet to Main Street.
City Manager Stephen Cole said, "There's been some interest from people in the community to expand it already, and so we'll be evaluating that probably later this winter."
