San Francisco now boasts the greatest number of WiFi hotspots of any US city, but an ambitious project to roll out a metropolitan area wireless network is gathering steam right here in Silicon Valley and garnering nation-wide press. Municipal WiFi networks are sprouting up all over the Valley: Mountain View, Sunnyvale, Cupertino, Santa Clara, and San Jose all have projects covering a range of business models from free to fee to advertisement-supported, and Joint Venture Silicon Valley is working on a project aimed at installing a seamless, multi-purpose network covering 1500 square miles and serving 2.5 Million people.

Speaking on this topic will be Larry Alder discussing Google's interest in public WiFi networks and providing an update on the Google project to blanket Mt View with a free wireless network and Seth Fearey updating us on the Joint Venture Silicon Valley initiative and how it relates to the various city and local projects.
This meeting is being organized by the WCA Metro WiFi Special Interest
Group. This group has monthly meetings on different aspects of these types
of project. Details of past and upcoming meetings can be found on the WCA
website at http://www.wca.org/METRO_info.htm |
