earn about wifi. We just started a project to develop a wifi
feasibility study. The study will
validate what we have learned in the beta and help us decide on a model for
deployment. In other words the
"what" and "how" to deploy. Later this year we plan to issue an RFI (request for information). The responses from vendors will then be considered for a wifi deployment strategy. Wifi is in the early stages of development and we still have not seen a "best practices" model. Therefore we are not expanding our deployment beyond public meeting places like the libraries and Newtowne Court. |
