ultimatesecurity 0 Posted August 21, 2006 Just found out that my town is getting city wide Wi-Fi by spring next year! no charge to anyone as long as they have there own Wi-Fi capable device. This makes my work much more easier when I am on the job and no more high costs of cellular Wi-Fi charges. http://www.skypilot.com/company/pr_031606.htm Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CSG 0 Posted August 22, 2006 I would get worried about the government providing internet access. Fisrt, they will drive out the competition, making everyone dependent on their network. Second, nothing is free, who is really paying for this, and whats it going to cost tax-wise. Third, do you really want the government controlling your internet access? How long will it take before they start blocking access to websites not deemed politically correct? Or if you dont pay a parking ticket do they shut you down?

kensplace 0 Posted August 24, 2006 Internet access of any kind would be great at the moment, my broadband connection is up and down like a yo-yo. No signal at all on the normal phone, not even a dial tone, but the dsl still works (at 160kbs, so only just...). But when it goes down, boy does it go down, for ages - then it suddenly springs back into life again for no apparent reason. Guessing faulty wiring or dodgy equipment at the exchange. City wide wifi must be a nightmare to keep secure, and I wonder what the speed will be like if it proves popular. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
