Group plans launch for early 2007
(old news - 08:45AM Wednesday Sep 06 2006)
Silicon Valley Metro Connect, a consortium including IBM and Cisco, has announced plans for an ambitious Wifi network covering 38 cities across 1,500 square miles. The new provider was selected by the San Mateo County Telecommunications Authority, an agency made up of cities and counties across Silicon Valley. The ubiquitous 1 megabit free ad-based service combined with a fee for faster service is present yet again. The project is part public service, part promotion, according to Diana Hage, director of wireless services at I.B.M.

It's IBM and CISCO, not Intel.

What cities?

It would have been nice if they told us which cities will be served by this project rather than a completely vague "38 cities".

Re: What cities?

Since it says "San Mateo, Santa Clara, Alameda and Santa Cruz Counties", hopefully it'll extend all the way up to South SF, over to Livermore/Dublin/Pleasanton, and down to the Capitola/Aptos/Soquel areas.

But that's just wishful thinking on my part

Re: What cities?

I'm pretty sure that San Jose isn't in there and if we are then we will probably be the last on the list to get it installed anyways. I don't have a pdf reader on my sort of new system yet so I can't look plus I'm too lazy to get it.

Isn't San Jose supposed the heart of the Silicon Valley? It seems that Santa Clara has taken that title away from us these days with them already having MetroFi and I think that there are more corporations and businesses there too.
