1 edit | At least some of us get validation.....
for standing up in the face of this ridiculous concept, even though it was unpopular. The reason I have said from the outset that this will fail is because I have a vast understanding of radio and wi-fi technology. Every time I said this will not work (for over three years now) I was derided and called many different unflattering names.
The concept is easy to get behind. Free internet everywhere. But if any of the proponents took a look under the hood before buying the car, they would have seen that it is all smoke and mirrors.
I hope this is a lesson to many people that they should do some research before taking a strong position on anything. Me and many others were vehemently attacked for trying to prevent to waste of taxpayer dollars and a incalculable amount of public funded muni management hours on an idea that has little to no practical real world value and is infeasible.
New Prediction...no one buys EL's muni division because it is worthless. |

| I agree with you ..as I was and still am ..NOT a WiFi supporter..it's a technology that is "ah gee wiz bang" but waiting for "a reason to WORK" ..! It's a solution to a problem that begs for an answer ..WiFi just is not the answer..BUT ..if your willing to "sit under the lamp post" with the WiFi tranceiver .. you'll more than likely be a real happy camper..! (do they allow tents on public sidewalks?)
Now then ..if " I " was the guy deploying a municiple WiFi network ..I would do it this way ..
- Find the highest topography point in the community ..
- create a "checker board" broadcast grid based on 1 sq mile
- In the center of each grid ..attach the tranceiver and float a helium filled weather ballon and raise it to the " center heigth, above)
- Color the the ballons red-yellow-blue, just like on WonderBread packages...this way people won't complain when they look up and see 1 million ballons in the air ..(chuckle).
