$40 000 000 ??????????????????????? ShiiiiiiiiiiThats way way excessive.
Muniwireless was suppose to bring costs down because it doesn't use fiber. At those distances wouldn't a total wireless system like wimax make more sense ?
I sense somebody is price inflating. | |

Re: $40 000 000 ??????????????????????? ShiiiiiiiiiiEverything in Los Angeles is overpriced... First you have to have the $$$ lawyers Then you have your 'preferred' contractor which charges 5x more than it should be. | |

Re: $40 000 000 ??????????????????????? ShiiiiiiiiiiPhiladelphia is the same way. We've been promised citywide wifi for 2 years and we got nothing. Meanwhile, Philly wastes money on wifi consultants and the murder rate soars because we don't have enough cops on the street. | |

Los Angeles is a VERY spread out cityBefore people start quoting $40M as overpriced, you should realize that Los Angeles terrain is not flat. LA has mountains (3000-5000 ft) and valleys (i.e. San Fernando Valley) all withing its space. It was a challenge to get cell coverage going and there are still spots where it is tough and/or unavailable.
IMHO they are going to need a lot of towers; whether $40M is the right number or not remains to be seen. | |

Re: Los Angeles is a VERY spread out cityAs a Los Angelino, I must give an empathetic "Woo Woo!!"
And then I let the fact that we're talking about something that.... 10-1 will not happen for many years to come. So many in fact, that I believe EVDO and the like will have all but eliminated the necessity/convenience of city wide Wifi. Now indeed, it would certainly be a leap in the right direction in eliminating what remains of the digital divide but with low-end DSL being offered @ 14.95 as it stands now, I can only assume that we'll see it go down further by the time this would ever have a chance to go live.
With all that said though, I'd love to have a decent speed alternative wireless internet solution in the city. You can never have too much internets surrounding you. Just imagine an entire city understanding the "O RLY" owl :P | |

Not the largest network - Wireless Oakland (Oakland Co., MI)You could say Houston is the largest planned citywide network in terms of coverage area and be correct. However, Wireless Oakland in Oakland County, Michigan (north of Detroit) plans to cover all 910 square miles of the county (1.2 Million residents). » www.oakgov.com/wireless | |
