Phones

I'd say the big telcos have got to rethink their WiFi strategy.

In considering that, we’re faced with a slew of potentially ugly situations. First and foremost, (and this revolves around the free vs. pay for play model) the existing service providers like Time Warner and Bellsouth probably aren’t going to be happy. I think it has something to do with unfair competition. Of course, I don’t see them spreading WiFi so I’m not sure there’s any competition out there right now. Then you have to consider that there’s no one in Columbia that can fulfill this project, at least that I know of. That fact, given that the city has been in the recent past focused on local purchasing, leaves us in a bit of tight spot…I mean, god forbid we go outside of Columbia to a service provider that could fulfill our requests. Perhaps I’m being overly simplistic.
