Re: $100,000 a bit pricey
Well, at 300 feet range (424 feet square), one needs more like 155 APs to cover a square mile (5280 feet per mile) * $50 a month that's $7750 a month, times 60 months (5 years) that's $465,000.
So maybe the muni solution is cheaper  |

On the other token it would be nice to stay on the 8th floor of the Hyatt Regency and not having to pay extra $10 per day for i-net access 
I assume they include the rights to position the access points, the wired infrastructure (signal, power), network access, operation and maintenance.
Yep, pricey... On the other side if say 20 people share their $50 a month cable connection to cover that square mile, that's only $1000 a month... What am I missing? |

Have to agree with you there Wacoyle. While I think that it's onerous for Verizon to hijack state legislation, and while it'd be nice to have citywide wi-fi, it'd be even nicer to not have a gaping hole in South Street bridge.
