kudos:1 | Re: New York Hell no. I like the silence of no cellphones ringing, peopel carrying stupid conversations and me being stuck having to listen to their crap. Everything is fine as is. Maybe in the stations but no way in hell should it be done for tunnel service.

The city is in the process of contracting with an outside company to bring service to all the subway stations in the 5 boroughs. While this service isnt "supposed" to work in the tunnels, I can assure you that in many cases it will.

| Julio,
I'm afraid that the needs of the many will outweigh the needs of the few. I’m sure that the investors can come up with 1,000 reasons why we should have wifi on a moving train. I’m sure the first 100 will hint to something like public safety and immediate information dispersion.
But anyway, I doubt you’ll see anyone using a laptop on the 3 train on its way to New Lots. The customer base or demographics for this service will be very specific, and I’m sure not everyone will be phase or disturbed by this service if it were to come to NYC. | |

kudos:1 | Re: New York IF the new yorkers rode the subway system for 100 years, why would not having cellphone service be a public safety issue? | |

@verizon.net | Re: Boston's MBTA I've used that before- it's actually a very good service, apparently it works by placing routers on the trains that connect to the Sprint EV-DO network, so it doesn't work while waiting in stations. | |

Carrollton, TX | Not that new Trains in England have been providing on-board Wi-Fi for a number of years now. I'm not sure what technology they use, but it works and it works at a reasonable speed. What's more, they also provide real power points by the seats. | |

kudos:1 | backhauled How is this backhauled? Obviously this isn't stationary Wifi APs along the tracks, since all the client would be doing is reassociating to a new AP, and that AP will be gone before a IP is obtained. | |

| | free wifi We have had free wi fi on the oxford tube buses between oxford and london for a couple of years now, it seems to work well.

kudos:1 | Crazy people talk to themselves.... I think this is the deep basis for hating people who talk on cell phones. Only crazy folks walk around and talk to invisible people and these phone people look just like lunatics.
I also think if you gave crazy people headsets, then they wouldn't look crazy anymore. It would just look like they are on the phone. | |
