About

#SFWiFi was initially put in over decade ago by the City and County of San Francisco's Department Housing to over 32 parks and Market Street. A recent campaign due to the rising importance of technology and Public Wi-Fi in a digital world started just last year and the department is working one by one to upgrade, restore or expand to more public places in the city.
