So they implement that and 3 years from now everyone bitches that their N standard cards don't get the 10x faster transfer speeds... so the city has to replace the APs with faster 802.11n standard APs.

...and then 10 years from now we use a WAN wireless standard in all major cities, at no cost to government, we realize what a waste silly city proposals like this truly are.]]>Aug 30th 2007 10:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/30/san-francisco-muni-wifi-project-on-death-bed/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/30/san-francisco-muni-wifi-project-on-death-bed/Aug 30th 2007 11:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/30/san-francisco-muni-wifi-project-on-death-bed/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/30/san-francisco-muni-wifi-project-on-death-bed/Aug 30th 2007 11:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/30/san-francisco-muni-wifi-project-on-death-bed/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/30/san-francisco-muni-wifi-project-on-death-bed/
oh and Nathan, yes the network is 802.11b BECAUSE its primary use is wireless utility meter reading (not exactly bandwidth hogging stuff). It's just accessible to the public because its there and well, our taxes are paying for it.

If private enterprises were the sole facilitators, we'd be overcharged just so they could make a bigger profit. (Read AOL in the 90's).

(I'm just crossing my fingers that once Earthlink is gone, CC wi-fi will be free again. :] )]]>Aug 31st 2007 2:49AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/30/san-francisco-muni-wifi-project-on-death-bed/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/30/san-francisco-muni-wifi-project-on-death-bed/
Anyone have experience with the WiFi in Philly? Good, bad, so-so?]]>Aug 31st 2007 10:58AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/30/san-francisco-muni-wifi-project-on-death-bed/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/30/san-francisco-muni-wifi-project-on-death-bed/Sep 3rd 2007 3:12PM
