Municipal Wi-Fi Networks In Trouble
imamac writes "According to an AP story, municipal Wi-Fi is going nowhere fast. A think tank research director quipped, 'They are the monorails of this decade: the wrong technology, totally overpromised and completely undelivered.' Subscriptions to the services are much lower than expected and lawmakers are concerned that millions of dollars will have gone to waste that could have been better spent on roads or crime-fighting. Satisfaction with the quality of service has also been low, which give some insight into the low adoption rate. Is municipal Wi-Fi just a bad idea, has it been poorly implemented, or is the technology just not there to support such an endeavor?"
Why am I not surprised that the socialist nutters popped out so quickly...
If there weren't so many damn idiots in this world, I'd just be average.
Just because someone isn't crazy enough to buy into libertarianism doesn't mean they're a socialist. It just means they aren't completely stupid. Admitting to being a libertarian is akin to admitting to being a Scientologist, it's a fairly clear sign of mental derangement.
Libertarianism: Because simple minds like simple answers to complex problems.
