Re: What did you expect?
If you know how to do it so well why don't you just shut up and do something about it then?
Start up a business and let us know how it goes, as you do your research you would clearly see how expensive things become in just paper work alone. I will actually encourage you to pursue that venture of yours. After all since this is a matter that disturbs you so much I am sure you are willing to do something that will actually work.
Of course if you do not plan on doing anything, then you don't really have a solution and are just part of the problem. I am sure it will feel nice though that "COMPANIES" are coming to "YOU" because "YOU" provide a service that operates their ATMs and WiFi systems at malls because they are all relying on a investment that you decided to make happen and now things that the common city dweller enjoys is in some small town in Montana.
Companies will be coming to you or even the city will come to you requesting the cost of city wide WiFi access and if they give you a certain amount of cash can you do it. It's not Verizon or some big telco this time, it's patcat88's little mom and pop shop. So many things that you saw wrong with city WiFi, well guess what now you can change that.
It's easy to bitch and complain, doing something about it is entirely different. This is why I pretty much am done complaining about services I buy because I in the end decided to pay for them, nobody forced me into anything and broadband or internet access for that matter is not a necessity as long as I have a means of communication I am pretty squared away. | |

said by HEDP  :I say no regulation and allow a young entrepreneur to take advantage of such a market with different forms of technology available to make it possible. As that area grows the cost for dropping a line of fibre or copper down to those customers becomes justifiable. No one not even you will put 40g's (cost much higher) and suck up the cost when you are only getting a few dollars in return. Make it not be 40K. Do the vertical integration of Ma Bell. Use open source hardware and free standards that don't require 20K a year membership fees to get access to plus per unit royalties. Oh, BTW WiMAX fanboys, is your standard really open, or it is multi $1000 membership fees and per unit royalties and patent encumbered?
