I cracked up at "NIST researchers traveled to downtown Boulder, Colorado, to test their model" because I used to live in Boulder and NIST to downtown is 2.7 mil

  > I cracked up at "NIST researchers traveled to downtown Boulder, Colorado, to test their model" because I used to live in Boulder Then you should know how common it is for Boulder to 'big itself up' for seemingly trivial things all the time, all of the national Labs (NCAR, NIST and NOAA) are a 5 min car drive to Pearl Street Mall in all directions. Though to be fair, I used to take 45 mins to get from Boulder Towers (only one exit in/out) across from CU Boulder to Pearl Street mall on a car when the Buffs played. I could have made it down there in 15 mins (my PB was 9 mins at like 4am and riding like a maniac blowing redlights which is dumb in a place that has so many negligent and intoxicated drivers). Or a take 20 min jog if I was up for it. With that said, bravo... but no one with any other options uses their wifi, though; it sucks and unless you have no data or haven;t got the credentials for any of the local restaurants it might be useful, which includes the large homeless population that keep getting harassed, beaten, and maimed by Boulder PD.
