SALT LAKE CITY (KSL News Services) -- Residents can now surf the net while they're in downtown Salt Lake City -- for free.

Salt Lake City and XMission have teamed up to offer free wireless access from 500 South to South Temple on Main Street.

Wireless Internet is already available at the Main Library and the Gallivan Center, and will be at Pioneer Park by the fall and Liberty Park by next year.

The official launch for the Main Street service is August ninth. However, XMission President Pete Ashdown said laptops can log on now.

Meanwhile, Ashdown is running for Senator Orrin Hatch's seat, but said he planned to provide free wireless on Main Street before he announced his Democratic candidacy.
