A group of Silicon Valley civic and business leaders are looking to build a regionwide wireless network. They want a wireless high-speed data canopy to cover the region. And they want either fee-based or advertising-supported plans that do not require local taxpayer funds.
The plan is to embrace various wireless technologies, from Wi-Fi short-range networks to wide-area WiMAX and other techniques under one umbrella that will give residents of the region wireless coverage from home to work and around town.
This is the future. By 2010 expect all major cities in the Western world, plus key industrial/educational/research zones such as Silicon Valley, to have adopted similar models and allow their inhabitants and visitors to roam seamlessly between various hi-speed wireless networks.
