Re: Just like BPL, muni-WiFi will die a deserved death
said by TKJunkMail  :WiFi was never designed to work at a muni level and is not usable in situations where thousands of APs are spread across many square miles. My experience would beg to differ as that's exactly what my company does and it's been working just fine for quite a while now. 
It's not the technology that is the problem, it's how it's planned and implemented that makes the difference. Throwing a bunch of wi-fi routers up on poles in repeater mode is what nearly everyone does and that's the problem. An effective city wide wi-fi network requires much more planning and technical tweaking to make it successful.
