Originally, the city had intended to cover the entire city with wireless Internet. That effort, though, has run into legal roadblocks because state law only allows such a city system to operate in times of emergency.
With all the people crying in New Orleans, you would think the emergency is still there.

The city wasn't playing fair. They tried to involve their own taxpayer backed free network that was created by politico fiat.

And BellSouth is wrong to be upset when the gov't comes in and uses taxpayer money to cut their knees off?

And I did back up my position. Being near the city actually allows me a type of inside track as to what's going on so my info is based on more than BBR's party line. The competing position was "BellSouth is ^$@$&%&%#*!", so there isn't much to counter.
