Looks like Grand Haven is making a good choice... why not hop on the shirt tails of Grand Rapids decision to go with WiMax.

|  This is reflective of many WiFi city projects
This is hardly surprising. Many, if not most, citywide WiFi projects are horribly behind schedule and also provide poor coverage even for those that have gone forward.

Companies that make the promise of providing 100% ubiquitous WiFi coverage in cities are really writing their own ticket to failure.

| Agreed. The spectrum is so noisy. Imagine being in a room with thousands of people, each representing an access point, and trying to broadcast a message that everyone can hear. Just not going to happen.
Think smaller. That's what my company did. |

| Like most other projects in MI.
Just like most other projects and most everything else. MI. is behind the times, period.
Except for unemployment anyway. WAY ahead of everybody else there!!

| I dont want to say it just yet......
but I cant hold back.
I told you so.
The city of miami beach hasn't put up a single tropos node in months now. The city is already months behind schedule and less then 20% of the city has nodes installed (mostly left overs from the "trial period").
It is not that muni wi-fi is a bad concept, it is that it is technically infeasible with a muni's limited budget and existing infrastructure. Many cities are now finding out the hard way....wait let me digress. Tax payers are now finding out the hard way. I take no joy in this, just saddened by the waste that I, and many experienced in the industry, saw coming a mile away.
I hope many muni's can salvage their efforts and do something positive and effective in bringing competition and better value to their marketplace/constituencies.

Re: there is City wide WIfi but
However, in Grand Haven, there is very limited DSL, and the cable provider of the area is Charter... ugh. Charter. |
