All this competition should be good for people in the NYC area. Lot's of choices and good coverage whether at home or on the move.
This isn't going to be real competition, although morbidly this sounds like the failed/dead/killed LI muni wifi project. This isn't real competition since Cablevision doesn't serve Manhattan, Queens, 1/2 of Bronx, Staten Island, and also most of NJ closest to Manhattan.

Also anyone considering deploying a wifi network is retarded. They are offering 1.5 mbit speed! The next revision/generation of cellphone internet (whatever it is) will slaughter this project. 1.5mbit is competitive with EVDO and old UTMS. HSDPA is equivelent in speed, and LTE and WiMAX, or any kind of upgrade really will be death. Who wants wifi when cell coverage will always be bigger and more reliable? Also what about dead spots, Suffolk county has alot of farms........

Who wants to pay extra for paying for data on cell coverage when existing customers of OOL can use this for free? This is a perk to retain OOL customers and give them an edge against their competitors.

Yeah, especially since we've all been sitting out in the middle of the cornfields out here wondering why we have no internet coverage.
