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

With muni wifi your fighting against shitty Centrino laptops with zero gain antennas and no tx power, and your fighting with really slow speeds compared to Cable and DSL (who gets more than 1.5 mbit/s on wifi WISPs? even if backhaul is more than a T1, you'll be rate limited to a T1). Also remember your dealing with incredible inertia with existing Cable and DSL, and alot of cable and DSL providers now offer 99 cent broadband 768k or 1m down and $15-$25 a month, and they always work, rather than wifi which can be degraded by 2.4 interference or congestion over precious 802.11b links.
