The journey to a wireless Boston - The Boston Globe

The journey to a wireless Boston - The Boston Globe: "As many cities have now learned, a corporate-driven, one-size-fits-all model for wireless may not provide the most effective solution. Well-publicized difficulties with such municipal WiFi plans have caused many to regard universal wireless models with skepticism. Yet at openairboston.net, we regard these difficulties as validation. Rather than throw millions of dollars at a citywide solution that might well fail, openairboston.net has employed discrete investments in small-scale rollouts that test technology against neighborhood needs to produce flexible systems that teach us how to do wireless right."
