Seattle's Space Needle gets WiMax'd
SpeakEasy's CEO Bruce Chatterley pulled a Richard Branson and walked out onto the halo of Seattle's Space Needle to announce the largest WiMax deployment of its kind in North America, including antennas and radio equipment installed on the Space Needle itself. The system will send wireless signals over a 5-mile square mile area of Seattle — but don't get too excited. The service is intended for commercial use, costing $800 a month for a 6 megabit pipe, but that's compared to the $500 a month most business are paying now for a measly 1.5 megabits.
