So here's a first attempt at a trackback. (This is more about me trying out a new feature in the world of movalbe type than a real comment on a story - but what the hell)
For those of you into the world of wi-fi.
Alex over at Wireless Bandit points out a story about a town in michigan thats gone wireless. The town allows a startup to put repeaters on utility poles - the startup sells access to the wireless network - the city gets a 5% cut.
Why won't Toronto go for a scheme like this? They might - but who's dumb enough to start this up. Megatropolises like a Toronto have all the infrastructure in the world - that includes fibre, cable and DSL. Add to that a growing number of wireless hotspots and it begs the question - who would pay for 256k wireless access when there are so many other options available.
Shurg. So there's the test of track back and my thoughts on city wide wireless in Toronto.
