As part of a 10-point program to revitalize and modernize itself and attract younger workers, the city of
Dubuque, Iowa is contemplating the construction and
deployment of a citywide wireless network.  According to the president of a local online information website, young workers are
“expecting” fo find wireless Internet access where they live. In any case, Dubuque is ready to invest
millions of dollars to revamp its old image as an industrial town, so this certainly is an opportunity for companies
looking to get a toehold on the citywide wireless phenomenon and submit proposals.

/>It seems the capital city of Taiwan, Taipei, is well on
its way to become the largest city in the world to have a citywide wireless network. Managed by a private company under
the aegis of the city government, the network features over 3,000 access points to cover half of the city’s 106 square
miles for its 2.6 million residents. According to city officials, the project will cover 90% of the city by the middle
of this year.

The story also mentions that the network will succeed because nearly 9 in 10 Taipei households have at least one PC
and over a third of the population is familiar with wireless Internet service. …

This week will determine whether or not the city of Chandler,
Arizona (right outside of Phoenix) will follow their neighbor Tempe’s steps in developing and deploying a
citywide wireless network. City Council members will meet tomorrow with NeoReach
Wireless, the folks who built the Tempe network along with others including Sacramento and Akron, Ohio, to see if
their plan to place antennas and radio units on city street lights will be sufficient enough to wireless service to
residents and businesses.

Plans for Chandler call for users to pay $3.95 per day or $29.95 per month for unlimited access anywhere in the
city. If the plan is approved, the city would allow NeoReach to mount equipment on city street …

/>The city of New Haven, Connecticut is contemplating a
citywide wireless network to be launched later this year. The city says it will issue an RFP next month in the hopes
that the network will attract business and new technological opportunities to various parts of the city. There is a
concern from some city officials that New Haven’s low-income residents don’t have the computers, much less the money,
to access this network, and this is something that must be addressed quickly for this initiative to move forward. There
has been talk of developing a program to recycle old computers and to also create community access centers in areas
facing economic development problems.

/>City council members in Salem, Oregon will be
investigating the possibility of developing and deploying a citywide wireless network accessible to residents of the
community. Like most other municipalities that are considering the wireless route, they will be choosing a private firm
to build the network and will allow that company to receive cash or access to city property to install the necessary
equipment. Plans call for users to pay daily and/or monthly fees as well as investigating ways where low-income users
can access the network.

As is the case with most of these citywide wireless networks, Salem is hoping that their network will attract
business and workers to their community.

Supporters of the 802.11n WiFi standard which, according to them, will “breathe new life” into the wireless
networking technology, got some good news this week when the Enhanced Wireless Consortium passed a joint proposal
by a 40-0 vote. Their proposal will now go in front of the IEEE at its meeting next week.

It is believed that 802.11n WiFi is estimated to be nearly five times faster than 802.11g, and up to 50 times
faster than 802.11b. It would make sense that those municipalities looking to deploy a citywide wireless network pay
particular attention to this development, although the standard won’t be ratified …

As if EarthLink didn’t have a big enough jump on the competition to build and deploy citywide
wireless networks, they’ve announced an agreement with Motorola who will provide equipment and services for the cities
where EarthLink has begun setting up networks, including Philadelphia and Anaheim.

According to the agreement, Motorola will install network equipment from their suppliers, as well as their own
products, on city light poles to form a wireless mesh to allow access from just about anywhere within a given location.

Obviously, this is a big deal because EarthLink can certainly submit proposals for future projects knowing that
they have a powerhouse like Motorola behind them so that equipment questions can be answered quickly. Of course, there
may be …
