San Antonio, Texas, unwires the Alamo: The downtown and Alamo Plaza areas of San Antonion have cut the cord with for-fee Wi-Fi. SA Unwired.net will charge $3 per hour and $10 per day. This project sounds as if it's trying to include indoor locations, unlike a number of free downtown or commercial district projects.
Unless this deployment includes Riverwalk, it's of limited use. S.A. is the hottest place I've ever been in the US, and that includes Jerome, AZ.
I was there on a day when the wind was adding smoke from fires in Mexico to 98 degrees and 80% humidity.
I nearly croaked from heatstroke. The last thing I'd want to do in those conditions is hang out outdoors and surf the web.
Burdon Lane:
Indeed, the full install will cover much more than the Alamo itself -- it spans much of the Riverwalk (the busy areas at least) and may even head into the financial district in the upcoming months. For more information, check out our website for case studies and press releases on the full deployment.
