[Tfug] Tucson Wifi; Was Re: Politics, Religion, trolls and Linux

Ponder:  The government provides a free connection... of course it is not free.  Some of the ISP's go out of business...... The government now has logs of where you go ..... and what you read ..... and can censor ..... regulate ..... and tax .....


Do you really want your government doing more that sewer, water, streets, police, and fire?

complex. But, I *really*, really do not want 802.11g router towers littering
my street every couple hundred feet! Nor do I need nor want to deal with
more 802.11 noise and play with my channels (get your minds out of the
gutter) until I get one that's not interfered with by someone else's router.
There are already 6 neighbors with them, some completely unsecured, one with
WEP and some smart souls with WPA. 

Why can't municipalities just wait for Wi-Max with ranges of miles or for
Pete's sake at least 802.11n (still bad, but better than g)? Or just go with
3.5 / 4G cellular internet (they claim its for better police connectivity on
the mean streets of Sahuarita)??
