I think so (get the apt), but maybe the numbers are old. lets see what
that 5k does these days.
The most rediculously over engineered router I ever built was barely over
1000. The least functional probably about 5000 cents. 50 usd. Im presuming
the 5k figure represents at most seven hundred for a router, leaving 4300
for access points, wire and various frobs. So if 3km of cat5e goes for
$400, there is 3900 remaining in budget. At $40 usd for a wrt54g, that
limits you to 90 something access points, at 2 per floor a 45 storey
building is unwired for $5k usd. With enough change left over for rj45
heads, a spiffy hub or six and a new crimping tool, you will need one when
all is said and done.
The estimate is still probably correct for many buildings, just not six
storey ones any more.
I am contemplating a 'mandatory' openssh surchange of 2 EUR/ 3 USD on new
routers, procedes going to the OpenBSD operations budget.
Go mozilla! again you have shown us the way:

For around $5,000, a tech-savvy apartment resident can attach a "router" to
a physical Internet connection in the building, and plug in two or three
access points at electrical points on each floor of a typical six-storey
building, according to NYCwireless Executive Director
Does the apartment also come *with* the router for the $5k? ;-)
