Spokane Gets Unwired

Posted by michael on from the have-802.11b-will-travel dept.

prostoalex writes "Spokane International Airport is getting wireless connectivity just before the city will expand WiFi coverage to 100 blocks in Spokane downtown. It will be the largest urban Wi-Fi zone in the United States, said Bob Conley, a founder of Vivato, the company that made the antennas for both installations. Vivato's press release mentions the service will be useful not only to casual downloaders. The downtown 'Hot Zone' will improve city services by facilitating intelligent policing, quicker fire and rescue response, and will support e-government initiatives and a more productive mobile workforce."

    Pardon my ignorance, but why was I modded off-topic for pointing out that wi-fi devices are getting down into a really low price? Did I misread the article or something?
