The city of Cambridge is teaming up with M.I.T. with the hopes of providing free wireless Internet access by this summer.

The network would communicate through the wireless networking cards that come standard with many computers.

Many other cities, including Philadelphia, San Francisco and New Orleans, are hoping to become wireless.

Cambridge says Harvard University eventually may join the project.

Officials at the University of Massachusetts-Amherst say they've had similar discussions about providing wireless access throughout the town of Amherst.
