Re: Not a good use of City funds!

They are proposing it for both public and city uses.

The Metricom stuff is 128 kbps. Hardly acceptable for much of anything these days.

Millennium Park is a different animal entirely. You must be one of those disgruntled city dwellers that's always complaining about Daley.

I actually work in the City and play in the city but live in the SW Burbs.

I like what Daley what Daley has done to the city. They need to concentrate on bring value to the people who utilize the City for what it has to offer.

Example, for the boaters in Chicago, they constantly raise the fees each year, have a 25% tax for those who who do not live in the City proper, while always making a 4-6 million dollar profit.

Sometimes I just do not understand how this attracts and improves life in the City.

We shall see.

Re: Not a good use of City funds!

...Note also that the City of Chicago maintains a virtual monopoly on lakefront boat berths for its entire waterfront, some 20 plus miles, and that there isn't really strong marina competition for quite a distance beyond the city limits.

Note also that the City has contracted its marina management out to Westrec Marnias, a California marina management firm.

Some cities want to get into broadband because nobody else is doing it for them. Some want to get in because they think it will be a cash cow. The second group is up for a rude awakening.
