A study commissioned by a council created by consultants to the telecommunications industry released a study questioning the wisdom of a city-wide Wi-Fi network.
The New Millennium Research Council claims it didn't pay the study's authors for their work.
So, let me get this straight, a group of people with mortgages to pay and kids to feed decided to author a purportedly comprehensive study without being paid. Oh, and the group releasing the study, who claim not to have paid the authors, was formed by an industry who would lose a lot of money if the city built and ran a Wi-Fi network.
I call bullshit.
This study, which, by the way apparently never contacted any of the people connected with Philly's wireless network, is a lame attempt to try and influence those who would most benefit from a city-wide network.
