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".Quote:

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.

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. :01:Quote:

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

I am remembering when Busyman used to go on rampages cussing all over the board.
I am understanding it even better now! IT FEELS GOOD! :O
To me this N.O. internet will also help people stay in contact with loved ones who are in the area working, etc.
But........it is what politicians do. mess up....scramble to save face and win votes back..........mess up, scramble to save face. Nagin messed up and now he is scrambling.
I'm thinking that wifi would help workers in the field access vital info and send info to others. A field tech has a laptop battery and hopefully power inverters in their vehicles.Quote:

The grace period for mortgages (90 days) is over and as if on cue, market forces know no holidays when the money is due.

NO will be quite alright..but it'll take years.
Seems pretty stupid not to set up a wireless network in my opinion. The wi-fi network is being set up at a nominal cost as most of the equipment is from donations and can only help the rebuilding efforts in New Orleans. The network will also give a valuable boost for New Orleans' tourism trade, aid local law enforcement and aid returning businesses.
never thought of tourism. it'll rawk tourism, like
Riiiight free internet. That'll get me down there.Quote:

Government owned internet usually doesn't last because of the money drain.
Fortunately New Orleans' tourism trade doesn't rely solely on where the Busyman clan intend to spend their holidays.:PQuote:

Another use for the future: Emergency responders can be equipped with wireless devices that enable them to direct evacuees from the city in times of weather emergencies or environmental disasters. Traffic lights and billboards posting evacuation messages can also be controlled remotely over a wireless network. (That sounds to me like something they need within the year).
Also now is probably the best time to set up this network as due to the state of emergency in New Orleans they can bypass trouble with the phone companies.
I read that's how it's always done irregardless to government owned interent.Quote:
