| WiFi Why??
From "Wireless Philly" »www.phila.gov/wireless/
It is affordable.
* It can be deployed for $40,000 to $60,000/ sq. mile.
* Wireless connectivity could be provided for the entire city for $7 to $10 million.
A public/private collaboration.
* This collaboration must include not only those organizations that represent the users of this technology but also those that are already investing and providing wireless services today.
Executive Committee
* The City will convene an Executive Committee to establish this collaboration and to outline how a mutually beneficial partnership can be structured to unwire Philadelphia.
Once again, I ask my fellow Philadelphians "Should we pay for Philly WiFi or spend $7 to $10 million dollars on (pick one) schools, police, housing for the poor, elderly care or after-school programs?" |

| Exactly. And how many police officers did they lay off this year so far? How many more are they laying off next? This is crazy, utterly crazy. Sure lets get city wide WiFi and get on your computer surfing the net on the park bench, but watch out because your computer will be stolen off you, you'll be mugged, raped, and shot because their are no damn cops around. Unreal. And because there are 50 kids in a class being taught by an incompetant pissed off teacher they'll be morans running around not even knowing what WiFi is in the first place or what those things are on the computer with all those symbols like a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h, i, j, k.... etc.
