Re: Free or cheap wireless is bad?
With the market nearly consolidated muni-bb has nary a chance when knuckle-draggers control the discourse using preemptive attacks (ring a bell?) via disinformation.
Over and over again, the marketing wings of USACorp. play to the lowest common denominator (hot-button ignorance) in order to swing public opinion in their favor.
The fact that they attack initiatives before the actual plans are on the table should give pause, but assclowns rule the day -- flailing commie rhetoric and spouting entitlement nonsense like the good little brownshirts pawns they represent are.

justn: Nobody will use it? Is that why people buy wireless cards and connect to neighbor's access and steal bandwidth? Nobody wardrives looking for open access either, do they? Guess you've never seen a laptop running wireless. This is a CITY, people all over the place like ants, and lots of them have wireless internet capable devices. The reason a municipality would pay for this is stated in the articles about it - it's mainly adding to their infrastructure. If a city sets up the nodes to also be the connection to power grid status devices, city workers have laptops in their work vehicles to communicate (like umm, the police do?), then there's reasons to have it around just to support that. Just imagine, soon they can have a traffic camera that's wireless, with the redlight ticketing via IP.

Gavin hopes it cost nothing,, HA what a joke, so that means there be be no city workers that deal with this project??? No line maintenance, no tech support. Yeah this is so full of shit. Who do they expect to believe a company will just walk in and pay for all this??? Wireless at that, what city has paying wireless customers? That is in direct compentiton with major cable and DSL providers.
If some make believe company was going to build this, WHY is the mayor taking credit???? Only reason a mayor endorses a private company as he claims this is, is he is PAID to do it.
If one city worker spends 5 mins writing a plan on this then the mayor has lied, and taxpayers are wasting money for something that will never be used. |

"Cities are starting to realize this is not a 'nice to have' anymore," said Paul Butcher, Intel's state and local government marketing manager. "To operate efficiently as a government, to enable business to compete and provide adequate resources to cities, you pretty much have to do this."
Intel backing this? |
