New York City Group Plans High Speed Wireless Network

The Alliance for Downtown New York proposed a wireless broadband system
in Lower Manhattan, which would leverage high-speed wireless technology
to keep the Lower Manhattan area connected in case of an emergency. The
Lower Manhattan Wireless Redundancy System would carry data and could be
used for voice if necessary, says the Alliance. There is a glitch,
however. The proposed network covering Lower Manhattan includes the
installation of antennas and related equipment in five of the tallest
office buildings in the area and carries a price tag of $10 million. The
Alliance has not yet secured funding.  The group says the network also
could be used by small- and mid-sized business, enabling a larger chunk
of the business community to access high-speed broadband services at
reasonable prices. (Source: New York Times)
