futurezone.ORF.at - German

The city hall of Philadelphia is planning to cover 350 squarekilometers of the city with gratis or cheap WLAN hotspots, spending 10 Mio USD. This would be the biggest city after Chaska in Minnesote (16 USD/month) coverin 34 squarekilometers andCorpus Christi in Texas covering 52 squarekilometers. Cleveland has already 4000 hotspots installed.

New York is planning to rent 18000 lampposts to WLAN providers. Part of the deal is to offer cheap WLAN-phones in poorer areas. This will of course be VoIP.
