| cable tv business models dont work with wifi
I hope the "digital inclusion" tax goes to hell. And the govt better cut something (pole access fees or power costs) or give something (like muni fiber or spare capacity on city leased fiber from Verizon/Level3/etc (ever heard of QOS and VLANs?))). Isn't the whole point of muni wifi to create the network by offering special terms that only the govt can provide for the network to exist? The cable tv franchise model (which is what Philly Wifi is) doesn't work with wifi.
Is the network still running or nobody can log in, or did the wifi APs stop broadcasting completly at this point? |

Snohomish, WA | Hmm. you don't like "digital inclusion" because it's subsidizing the poor, but you believe the city should subsidize muni-fi to make it work for the not so poor? |
