That's not the case. Metranet has provided a wireless infrastructure
that *could* be used as part of a citywide wifi network. But it isn't
a citywide wifi network.
You can't connect to it with your wifi laptp, or your PSP, or plug an
antenna into your 4th hand donated PC (cos you can't afford anything
else) and get internet access.
This isn't a criticism of Metranet, BTW. I'm trying to make clear the
difference between what Tom wants, and what exists today.
