Re: Naysayers on citywide WiFi should be listened to
having worked on the failed Tempe AZ mesh, I can say the following:
"THIS!"
Tempe was perhaps one of the most favorable places I have seen to do this kind of stuff and yet it still failed for this very reason.
the AP density required double what they had in the initial bid and still left dark areas.
having been on the provider side in two failed markets (tempe and sacramento which was killed before it was started) i can say that municipalities have no business being in the business of providing bleeding edge technologies (which this application of wireless i still consider to be bleeding edge) |
