 Minimum 250kbps is a joke

After reading the article, only requiring a minimum 250kbps bandwidth requirement is a joke, right?

Here is the wording from the bid document:
Back-end Support Including Internet Service. The City requires that the WiFi
system provide Internet connectivity at a minimum of 250 kilobits for all users.

Do they mean upstream?, downstream? combined? Who wrote this bid - Mickey Mouse? Al Gore?

... even Mickey has more bandwidth than that.

With all kidding aside ... I would say as long as they go with a good provider, users should see decent connection rates via 802.11g or 802.11b

It looks like they built alot of CYA into the RFP.
