Muni WiFi Still Doesn’t Work
By Larry Hendrick | August 20, 2006
Steve Titch suffers from the same ailment I suffer from when we talk about Muni WiFi. Now the evidence is in on the ONE project heralded as the poster child for Muni WiFi for some time. It seems that the smoke and mirrors have dropped and the picture is clearing up, and it’s not as pretty as Chaska, Minn. wanted you to believe. Head over to this article for the complete story.
After being accused of disseminating “disinformation” time and again whenever I write about the mounting number of municipal broadband failures, it is not without some satisfaction that I can report that city officials in Chaska, Minn., have been yanking our chain about the “success” of their municipal wireless system for the past 18 months.
It turns out Chaska, which has been repeatedly (and exclusively) upheld as the shining example of a successful muni wireless operation, has been a disaster.
