Brent – I checked the link you referred to and did not see a map of the included coverage area. Now I could have missed it, as there are over 200 direct links on the page. Could you give a link to the map.
Thanks

looking at the map I would not call that city wide covarage. Great if you are down town but if you leave the core you are done.

Suddenly, they had a wi-fi hot spot a couple of miles wide. The world had never seen that before. If a regular wi-fi transmitter was a candle, this thing was a baseball-stadium spotlight. They called it, for reasons best known to themselves, Little Joe.....
