In the article you linked to, they quote $500 per hotspot.
I doubt it is anything on that scale, since that figure is for 1 hot spot and includes the cost of say a T1. Given their economies of scale, the cost won't be anywhere that high. Also if the article is correct, you will not be using the same antennas as a normal hot spot, ie these will cover much larger areas per set-up.

Wouldn't it take tons of them to cover "the entire Cablevision footprint?"

A more reasonable plan in my mind would to just expand their existing hotspots to include more areas, but even all of Long Island, let alone parts of NJ, CT and Upstate NY seems too aggressive for WiFi technology.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20456502 Fri, 09 May 2008 11:21:58 EDT Re: CV to build out a Wi-Fi high-speed data wireless network http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20456121 TheWiseGuy : How much effort would be needed?

verizon tried this with wifi hot spots on top of payphones and it did not work out. why does cv think it will?
It will work because the network is already up and running. I know because i have used it when i am at starbucks in huntington village during lunch. The ssid is optimumwifi. (its fnny because this starbucks has their own pay wireless lol)

All cablevision is doing is expanding their wireless network to include more areas. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20455368 Fri, 09 May 2008 07:10:44 EDT Re: CV to build out a Wi-Fi high-speed data wireless network http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20454364 anon : verizon tried this with wifi hot spots on top of payphones and it did not work out. why does cv think it will?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20454364 Thu, 08 May 2008 22:40:34 EDT Re: CV to build out a Wi-Fi high-speed data wireless network http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20452642 majortom1029 : I am pretty sure the ssid is optimumwifi.

The web page describing the WiFi system is silent about the SSID used.

I assume its obvious once you do a site search, but I'd be happy to configure it now if I knew it.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20452231 Thu, 08 May 2008 15:20:55 EDT Re: CV to build out a Wi-Fi high-speed data wireless network http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20452202 UofMiamiGrad : Not really new, but I guess Cablevision discussing it puts it out in the open for the press to report.

Just about every place I take a wireless device one of those names shows up and it is usually unsecured.
