I didn't know that DEPLOYMENT = FINISHED, DONE, READY FOR PRIMETIME.
And who exactly said that it did? The current "deployment" is exactly zero right now so either way your rude comment is off base. I am just pointing out how much trouble these large deployments have been having. No need to get testy about it.

Who ever said that Philly wi-fi was supposed to be out last summer as you stated in your original post?
They did!

quote:
Philadelphia's city government is studying plans to deploy Wi-Fi wireless LAN access points throughout the city, each offering IEEE 802.11b access and linked to others via a wireless mesh network, said Dinanah Neff, the city's chief information officer. Deployment is set to begin in June 2005

Not true. The city council only just unanimously supported the city's Earthlink Wi-Fi plan last week. A few signatures and a few permits and building will begin. A lot of the delay, if you recall, was dealing with Verizon and getting around the state-law they passed prohibiting such ventures.

Not sure where the doom and gloom is coming from, most cities have only just announced plans over the last year.
I never specified what the red tape was, all I said was that it was bogged down. My other point is that if you carefully read some of the press releases you will see that EL is only building a "test" network first
quote:
EarthLink will start building the network in June over a 15-square-mile test area that would cover parts of North and South Philadelphia. The test should take three to four months, said Clifton Roscoe, director of major projects for EarthLink.

I am not saying that they will not then go on to build out the rest of the city (which I truly hope they do!), I just have a feeling that it will be severely delayed by a number of things. I hear the major down there is a complete moron as well, for what its worth.

By none, I dont mean the "5 city block single access point" mumbo jumbo that anytown USA has set up in the tourist area. I am talking about true CITYWIDE wifi in a real big city. I was under the impression that the Philly network was supposed to be up last summer, yet it appears to be bogged down in red tape more than ever before. As of now I dont see it EVER happening there. I think the idea of citywide wifi sounds great, but so far it really only seems to be a pipe dream. Just to clarify (since I know SOMEONE will point it out), I am NOT referring to the small towns in Michigan(?) that have access for their residents, I am talking about large scale URBAN rollouts.
