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

[Michael Omar Gatto]

They are doing the same thing here in Sahuarita. It would be great for
parks, commercial plazas, main boulevards, and the city hall / fire / etc.
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)??
