NYC under NuVisions WiFi skies
By Larry Hendrick | July 16, 2006
This is the way I like to see Muni WiFi rolling out. A private company has a business plan they think will make money and, oh by the way, we’ll make hot spots in the city as we go along. I do hope the company does well with this endeavor, so a positive business model can be cited.

For those in NYC, get ready to cut loose — literally. In a city that isn’t typically exposed to rollouts of this magnitude, NuVisions is, well, envisioning an ever growing “cloud” of WiFi over the metro areas. Their plan to dominate the airwaves with internet access begins with hardwiring buildings throughout the city with gigabit Ethernet (presumably via fiber), which is then distributed to tenants via short range powerline networking. Then the real fun begins. With every building that is hardwired for internet access, they light another WiFi zone on location.
