Re: So what's their solution?

"Coverage area" is one of the most subjective terms in the industry. You can throw a high gain antenna on a Linksys and have a coverage area of a couple of miles, but if it can only support 20 users then its coverage area is effectively useless in your typical urban muni deployment.

Ya, but the MMC folks have "no usage logs" showing how many users are logging into this little public hotspot network. I'd guess they don't know much if they don't know this - and they would prefer to just over-estimate their coverage.

What does the amount of users have to do with the area covered? That's a bit of a stretch.
