    Hi <br>
    <br>
    Why that could be a good selling point, it is also something that
    would be something to explore after the fiber is deployed, and it
    has its own management challenges. <br>
    <br>
    What the fiber would do would be the transit backbone for wireless
    access points, but managing it as "part of" the fiber rollout might
    divert energy, dilute the idea, and take what time we have to get
    this done. <br>
    <br>
    Not saying its not possible, or not desirable, its just its own
    major project. Though it sounds great, WiFi has "issues" especially
    when you add more access points, it just piles interference on. 
    It's tricky. <br>
    <br>
    And Instaconnect already does WiFi thats free right?<br>
    <br>
    Thanks<br>
    RAN<br>

        Also a very good selling point. </div>

          <div dir="ltr">I seem to recall from the old
            Telecommunications Commission days that UCD has a survey (or
            list) of apartment buildings with very large numbers of
            students.
            <div><br>
            </div>
            <div>It occurs to me that these apartment complexes might be
              great opportunities for early deployment. They're going to
              have a very high connection density, making for rapid
              payback.</div>

            <div>I believe that in South Korea, a common mechanism for
              apartment buildings is to take fiber to the apartment
              buildings then use a very high-speed, short-distance
              version of DSL to use twisted pair to apartment buildings.
              I wonder if that's feasible here. I'd love to find a way
              to make big apartment complexes early supporters of this
              project.</div>

                <br>
                They are good with the project, and have offered to
                "help" The form this help could come in, would be coming
                to City council,<br>
                Volunteering to do an outreach event, and
