 Dave:

 From the recent IP posting on the legislation to block municipal WiFi 
in Philadelphia:

"why, exactly, is Philly planning on spending huge piles on WiFi when 
WiMAX could do it cheaper in around the same time frame it'll take them 
to actually deploy?"

Is this true?  Why will WiMAX be cheaper in an urban setting?  When 
will WiMAX really be available?  I think there are some WiMAX skeptics 
that would disagree.  Perhaps a discussion on IP would be illuminating.
