Re: Dumping WiFi lost $61M in revenue & saved $145M in costs

All due respect ... forget about Earthlink for a second and think about the city; of all cities out there I think NOLA was one of the most unfortunate choices - they have much bigger things to worry about, and precious little money to spend on non-essential stuff like wi-fi.

Just my opinon, though.

Just to give you heads up... The muni-wifi project in New Orleans predated Katrina and the Earthlink project.

It was originally deployed in order to monitor cameras placed in high crime sections of the city.

How does wifi have enough bandwidth to have 10s of cameras going over it? 11B is 4.5 mbitps and 11G is 20mbitps.
