So here's a "for pay" community wireless network plan. Sort of sad really -- I mean, we're planning to do the same thing, under a much faster timeline, and make it available for free to end-users. --Sascha *** Atlanta lays out WiFi plans BY Brian Robinson May 3, 2004 Atlanta will offer citywide wireless Internet service within three years if recently approved plans to build a for-pay network come to fruition. The Atlanta city council passed legislation allowing city officials to go ahead with Atlanta FastPass, the official title of the city's WiFi initiative. It will first be established at city hall and Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport, and then rolled out to other areas around the city. Biltmore Communications, the Atlanta service provider that will build the network and manage the wireless service, already provides both wired and wireless broadband services in the area and its wireless hotspots will eventually be integrated into the network. Users will be able to opt for a variety of access plans, from day passes to a monthly subscription. The city also hopes to attract other service providers through roaming agreements to provide their customers with access through FastPass.
