Re: too cheery

Perhaps because this isn't a municipal system.

This is a private outdoor wifi system, free for the company's own land-line subscribers.

Probably the only reason Cablevision's outdoor system can succeed where municipal systems have failed is because Cablevision already has the internet connection infrastructure and backhaul network built (their existing plant) and doesn't have to pay someone else to use it.

I like the quote. Cablevision is seeing Verison's light, Verizon is feeling Cablevision's heat, we all get all warm and fuzzy.
