While I certainly understand the paranoia here (hell, I uninstalled PokemonGO due to the invasive permissions), I see the positive here far outweighing the negative. The Internet is becoming akin to fresh air or clean water—a right for all citizens, not just those with means. I don't know the percentage, but there are a huge number of New Yorkers who can't afford Internet and are missing out on the digital world we're all engaged in on a daily basis. As a New Yorker, I heartily welcome a city blanketed in free wifi. For the 300Mbs I get off of one of those things, I'll use a VPN just like I do with all public wifi networks.
