Except Philly isn't wireless yet and may not be for at least a year.
You're being far too optimistic.

Seems the reporters never get the story right. They just print whatever the PR people hand them.
Since when have most reporters ever cared about facts?

Anyways, has anyone actually tried using their existing "hotzone"? It's terrible. How do they expect to expand this city wide?

Broadband, including FiOS in some areas, is available all over Long Beach. It isn't like LB is some sort of "broadband blackhole" that needs wifi.
City politicians are like lemmings - they will play follow the leader as they plunge off the cliff. Other cities are doing it, so they have to too - even if it will barely work. After all, the city isn't paying for it, so they have nothing to lose and a lot of good PR to gain.

P.S.> I did get a kick out of this statement in the story:
quote:
Long Beach is among a growing number of cities to go wireless. Philadelphia is considered the first major city to be wireless.
