Neighborhood vs. City-wide Wireless Networks in Pittsburgh

Living near Pittsburgh for a large chunk of my life, and in Pittsburgh for several years after college, the Steel City still has a place in my heart. We’re even considering moving back to Pittsburgh in 2007 (or perhaps to Portland, Oregon).

Pittsburgh hadn’t gotten a lot of props until about 5 years back, and people still think of it as a burned out steel town, but sentiment is swaying, and people are beginning to realize what a great place Pittsburgh is — great education, considerable history for an American city, great arts and entertainment opportunities, kick-ass sports franchises, plenty of parks, friendly people, and possibly city-wide wireless access.

These city-wide projects are becoming more and more common, and I like it. Of course, it would mean leaving one of the few EVDO markets in the States. . .
