Re: CV to build out a Wi-Fi high-speed data wireless network

In the article you linked to, they quote $500 per hotspot. 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.

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.
