I attended a talk by a vendor of WiFi equipment for
municipal applications on Friday. He discussed the San
Francisco issue specifically. According to him, the
issue was with the backhaul technology planned by
Google. This would provide a choke point that would
greatly limit the bandwidth available to individual
users. Other more expensive back haul technology does
not suffer from this issue.

S.F. stalling Wi-Fi plans, Google executive
charges
· Verne Kopytoff, Chronicle Staff Writer

An executive for Google Inc. says San Francisco’s
plan to offer free
wireless Internet access to residents is being
delayed by a slow-
moving city bureaucracy five months after the
company won a high-
profile contract for the project alongside partner
EarthLink Inc. In
an interview with The Chronicle, Chris Sacca, who
leads Google’s
special projects, voiced frustration with what he
called the city’s
slow negotiating style. Sacca said that talks to
come up with a
final contract have advanced little since they
started and that
officials have made unreasonable demands,
including a request for
free computers and a share in revenues.
“Every meeting is like the first,” he said.
