New Orleans to Get Free City-Wide WiFi

[Busyman]

What part of it aren't you getting?

Oh I get you point of view, I just don't agree with it.

Excellent.

So your ok with government money and resources put toward a hugely unnecessary luxury during a citywide time of crisis.

Nice going.

@Vid incase he missed it:

Lets just say you used to live and work in the city of N.O. Since the hurricane you’ve been staying at a relatives because your house isn’t livable and has to be torn down and rebuilt. You are also unsure if you will have a job to return to when are finally you are able to move back to the city because your employer pulled out of the city and relocated. How would you feel if the Mayor of your city was talking about getting the internet for the entire city instead of worry about your home or job?

I understood it but that is an emotion. Business is not run on emotions.

The housing bit, well isn't that between the insurance company and the owner?

The job part, the mayor can't stop companies relocating but he can do things to make the area attractive to companies. Apparently you think that WiFi is just for home use. But again you seem to be suggesting that the only thing the mayor is concerned with is the WiFi. Has he ignored the other issues? I have yet to get an answer to any of the questions I raised.
You seem to think that the mayor should be out on site directing the construction. thing is that's the engineers job. The mayors job is co-ordination and oversight.

No I am not ok with "government money and resources put toward a hugely unnecessary luxury during a citywide time of crisis".

But then I don't look at the WiFi as being that.
In today's business world Internet access is on a par with phones. The idea is to bring the city back to its feet ASAP and this is just one tiny part.

there is always Economic Development.

Give that woman a ceeegar (or a box of chocolates if she prefers )

Well for starters how about the evacuation order.

I have made no secret that I think he was incompetent in his handling in the run up and the immediate after of the wind. That does not however change my point on this issue.

Yes, he screwed up big time on not ordering that. Big time.

That's weird.

I heard the evacuation order on the news and I live outside of N'Orleans. Whether he's the one that gave it? Beats me.

Yes, Bush screwed up on ordering a rescue...5 days later. BIG TIME.

Busy, you are right. He ordered an evacuation. And left those that he knew could not evacuate on their own. You know what was meant.

Two wrongs don't make a right here by any means. They both fucked up.

i agree with vidcc. if this isn't cannibalising funds or slowing down repairs, what the hell are you all complaining about?
