GLIMPSE OF WI-FI NETWORKS TO COME?
[SOURCE: Wi-Fi Net News, AUTHOR: Glenn Fleishman]
[Commentary] I don’t want to sound too optimistic: there are still plenty of technical, political, and financial obstacles in the way of having metro-scale Wi-Fi work. But I do think the days of 95-percent city buildout requirements led by municipalities that don’t contribute any funding or buy any services are over. It’s more likely that we’ll see a combination of public space unwiring, business-grade point-to-multipoint broadband wireless, and something like reverse redlining: Wi-Fi brought to areas with high dial-up penetration and poor broadband availability, likely in lower-income parts of cities.
