Mount Airy, MD | Re: Just like BPL, muni-WiFi will die a deserved death Don't forget that most cities already have robust data coverage by one or more 3G providers. None of those rollouts cost taxpayers a dime.

Franklin, TN | said by fAcEtIOUs:WiFi was never designed to work at a muni level and is not usable in situations where thousands of APs are spread across many square miles. My experience would beg to differ as that's exactly what my company does and it's been working just fine for quite a while now. 
It's not the technology that is the problem, it's how it's planned and implemented that makes the difference. Throwing a bunch of wi-fi routers up on poles in repeater mode is what nearly everyone does and that's the problem. An effective city wide wi-fi network requires much more planning and technical tweaking to make it successful.

kudos:1 | wifi is not a pancia I never understood how wifi is supposed to help the ghettos magically turn into WASPy productive suburbs. Slow $20/$25 broadband is offered by most incumbent cable/tel ISPs. Computers are also easily available from used sources nowadays. I found a 2.4 ghz P4 abandoned today on the streets (missing a PS). Otherwise works fine.
And BTW, you can always goto the library or an internet cafe (works great in dirt poor Nigeria), no botnets that way either. | |
