Paris, The City Of Wi-Fi?
TheMatt writes "An article at the IHT describes an effort to make Paris one big Wi-Fi hotspot. The project, with partners like RATP and Cisco, if approved, will place two or three antennae outside each of the 372 Metro stations in Paris and link them through an existing fiber network that runs through the subway tunnels.
The current pilot project is centered along the route of Bus No. 38. You can sign up for access to the pilot which is free until June 30."

You mean Paris is good for something else other than the production of white flags and anti-American sentiments?! Who knew?!

You'll be lucky if you're not gang raped.
Gang rape is a big problem in Paris suburbs.
Gang rapers like 'beef' (black girls) or 'pork' (white girls) but prefer going for a 'Chinese' (asian girl).
The gang is typically multi-racial. It is very unusual to be sent to prison for > 2 years.
French people are faggots, they only ass rape other french fags. er, sorry.. freedom fags.
Ok, you're stupid. And I bet you're american too.
Who the fuck uses a laptop in a subway?!
I would assume that wi-fi antennae make great places to hang a white flag.
Doesn't France have some really low limit on encryption? Like 48bit encryption?
No, you're confusing things. They have a 48 day limit between showers. Not sure what there bit limit is for crypto.
Trolling is a art,
They got wind of something called "war driving", and surrendered.
Sounds like a good idea, until you consider the fact that the French will surrender the entire wireless network to the first German hacker that logs on.
phfflbbbhaaahahahahaa
t s-because-it's-afraid-we'll-discover-it-sold-weapo ns-to-Iraq stuff, I didn't know France even had an army. I figured they were like Germany, and were only allowed to have as many forces as we (the USA) said. Now I know that France's military, as well as its citizenry, government, and foreign policy are something to be laughed at.
French military. Before all this France-wants-the-USA-to-surrender-to-the-terroris
Wait, what? Someone actually lives in Detriot? Look, pansy frogs running a city-wide wifi network I can handle... imaginary posts from self-described citizens of a post-industrial ghost town is just too much for me to handle.
I thought there was some legal issue w.r.t. WiFi in France -- that the 2.4ghz spectrum area was reserved by the French military?
That means 2.4ghz is empty.
