Posted by on July 5th, 2008Earthlink re-thinks the municipal Wi-Fi plans
Posted by on November 18th, 2007While they aren’t exactly explains all of the reasons, it would appear that high costs and the high number of installations required has put the brakes on 802.11 style wi-fi wireless setups for cities, at least as far as Earthlink is concerned.

City-Wide Wi-Fi not connecting with the users
Posted by on May 22nd, 2007Interesting story on CNN about Wi-Fi in the city. The issue is that the density of equipment to provide truly seamless wifi over a large area is just way too pricey.

Apple has spent millions of dollars on ads tauting their invunerability to PC viruses, but they aren’t so forthcoming about security patches to [...]
US Approved Wireless Emergency Notification
Posted by on September 16th, 2006Interesting and intelligent use of wireless here. The US government has approved that wireless (specifically to message enabled devices such as cell phones and blackberrys) should be added to the emergency broadcast network. In the case of an emergency (such as a storm or hurricane evacuation warning, etc), the message could be broadcast to all [...]
