Re: Technology advancement is great BUT
said by jc100  :Doesn't this city read the news to see how many tens of city wifi projects have costs millions, but failed terribly? I'm sure this will be another such case in a few years if that. I tend to believe that most muni efforts are a big waste of time (and I have said so many times), however this is a slightly better scenario. All the failed muni efforts have attempted to blanket hundreds (and in some cases thousands) of square miles with a wifi; a technology designed for in home use. Wimax on the other hand is meant for large, outdoor deployments and is much better suited for something like this. However, the fact that its a muni deployment might just doom it from the start, unless some real planning goes into it.
