The Network and Sharing Center put out by Microsoft is an application on a Windows Operating System that provides you with a centralized location to manage network connections and resources. In simpler terms, it allows you to see how you are connected to the internet - VIA Wireless or Ethernet - as well as gives you the name of the current network you are in. (If applicable.) In newer Operating Systems - (Such as Windows 7 or Vista) - it also gives you the option to edit your sharing options. For example, if you are at home, and you would like to transfer a file from your laptop to your desktop without the annoyance of using a USB Drive, you could enable the sharing on both computers, and simply drag and drop from one to the other. When at a Public place, say Starbucks, it is generally wise to have this feature turned off, as it is easier for hackers to get into your settings.

Why does joining your City network give up a lot of privacy?
Typically City networks are not locked down as completely as say a corporate network. They do not protect information on who is connecting to the network - thus less privacy. Their records are more open to the public than a corporate network. You need a subpoena to get the records from a private company. A city can give their records more or less to anyone they want.
