Madison starts its unwiring: The downtown and nearby university will be covered. Service will be free for at least a month when fully operational. It's being built as a vendor-neutral wholesale network by Cellnet.
Voice, video, and data will cover 140 square miles of Nassau: The service will be deployed by Sawtel using Meru gear, which has a VoIP focus. Behind the Wi-Fi coverage, there will be centralized phone switch options for businesses, too.
Boston tries take two: The mayor convenes a task force to focus on putting more wireless in Boston. Last year's effort with a Wireless Summit produced conversation, but no plan for action.
Cincinnati lets Bells put Wi-Fi in libraries: Some libraries find funds tight, and in those cases, have turned to for-fee providers. Cincinnati's system will have Wi-Fi available, some starting this week, at $4.95 per hour or $9.95 per day. However, subscribers to operator Cincinnati Bell's existing ZoomTown and FUSE customers pay nothing extra.
