Tampa Council To Hear Report On Citywide Wireless


TAMPA - Making all of Tampa a wireless Internet hotspot is something city officials say they'd like to see happen. But how to do it,
and how much it will cost, is something they have yet to determine.

The only cost to the city is the time required of its staff to negotiate and sort out the logistical issues of the public-private partnership.


Buckner said he is trying to determine which Internet providers would be
interested in establishing a wireless service in Tampa. He said Tampa has talked to EarthLink, but that he is unsure whether the company will be in a position to provide the service because they have just signed onto other big projects and have limited money to go around.

 In St. Petersburg, for example, certain government Web sites will be
available without a subscription.


"Why should St. Petersburg be ahead of us in technology?" Dingfelder said.
"If we move slowly, then by the time we get it installed, it will be
obsolete."
