[QUOTE="3MR, post: 235766, member: 4180"] Where in Oklahoma are you? This is the first I have hard about an ISP with wireless. Are you sure they arent talking about Satelite? I have setup lots of wireless LANs for work. They work great for a limited area. The problem with a wirless network for a larger area would be the cost associated with the towes and the amount of people logged on at a time. It is barely cost efective, if at all, to set up a network in a metropalitan area now, I think it would be prohibitive in a rural area. There are a few municipalities in California that have done it, with mixed results. There is lots of stuff on the net about it. Basically the larger municipal systems are the same as the systems in a WIFI are with more powerful and multiple ant. The same holds true that the farther you get from the signal the weaker your signal and the more people logged on the slower the service. Many normal electronic devices will also interfere with the signal. My personal opinion is they are great for a buisiness or home, but we arent were we need to be for a municiple system to take the place of a hard wired connection. [/QUOTE]
