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.
