Citi WiFi is expanding its wireless Internet coverage in St. Petersburg's downtown by providing the bandwidth for free access at BayWalk through the SmarTown portal.

SmarTown is a location-based content provider that lets users of the free BayWalk wifi service tap into information, video and special offers from and about BayWalk businesses. Citi said the partnership with SmarTown will continue as the wifi provider expands operations in Treasure Island and Dunedin and elsewhere in Florida.

"This will bring tourists to the beaches from downtown and downtown from the beaches," said Citi Wifi president Frank McCarthy. SmarTown has been operating at BayWalk for almost three years and was the first in the country to offer real-time ads and video blogging as a local advertising medium.
