The Space Needle here in Seattle will soon be utilized as a giant Wi-Fi antenna.  Three different ISPs are teaming up to provide the connectivity, which is expected to be able to beam wireless internet signals over a 5 square mile area.

Finally brings some 21st-century relevance to the old World's Fair construction and most-notable Seattle landmark.  Not that the Space Needle isn't cool in its own right, of course.  But soon, it will be very cool to cruise through downtown (or fly overhead), see the Needle and know exactly where your wireless internet hot spot is.  Saves all that wardriving effort, I guess.
