Rhode Island’s plan to deploy a statewide wireless
broadband network (a mix of Wi-Fi and WiMAX) is taking shape with the
launch of two pilots in Providence and Newport. The cost of the project
is $20 million.
I’d like to thank Bob for sharing the latest news on Rhose
Island’s network and to clarify that, contrary to reports in the
mainstream press, the network may be used for public access through
partnerships with service providers. For more information, visit the RI-WINS website.
