"The service is not for me, it's going to be all about them, and what they can get out of it."
Bryant Park has been providing a free service to any laptop user who wants access for many months now.
People come from all over the city to log-on and work in the sunshine, and naturally, everyone I spoke to welcomed the idea of extending this kind of coverage.

Lilly Martinez, from Brooklyn, was using the service for the first time, and found it slow with the sheer volume of users logged on.
She said she was "freaked out" by the idea of a huge microwave expansion.
"What does this mean for my brain?" she asked.
