I asked an engineer @ city hall this question about a month ago + he said that (despite what I thought) Verizon is not the main responsibility for the phone underground and pointed me to another site that is a pretty interesting read:
http://www.tsd.org/ieee1473/index.htm I dont really get what this has to do with 802.11 but aparently its "interoperatability" for its own underground network controlling the trains, which would lead to think that there would be security concerns with offering a public network within their own, not to mention vandalism concerns ... does anyone here know someone @ verizon or mta? - jon ----- Original Message ----- From: "Yury G" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, November 18, 2003 2:54 PM Subject: [nycwireless] WiFi the NYC subway, Fact Check? > Hi all, > > I'm trying to fact check something.
