Five thousand Nortel mesh nodes on poles in Moscow: Golden Telecom says they will start testing a network encompassing 3.9 million Moscovian households by summer 2006, with service to follow. This seems astounding. If the news of a network of this scale being completed so fast with so many mesh access points came from a company other than Nortel or one of their peers, I'd be checking to see whether it was a hoax.
