Small Number of Households Likely to Use Muni WiFi

Friday, June 30th, 2006

This news story shows another of the problems with the whole Muni WiFi movement. In all honesty the service is not the best, so most people continue to use their paid service that is more reliable and faster.
With the price about the same, there is no motivation to change providers to an unknown.

A Muni Wi-Fi Cautionary Tale

Monday, June 26th, 2006

I wondered about this aspect of the Muni WiFi issue last week, when reading about another Muni WiFi, here in the USA, that is having a problem attracting users. The politicians assumed that if they built it, the people would flock to the service and it’s not happening.
Now it appears, according to this CNet article, [...]

Even if the services don’t [...]
