A new player has appeared in the WiFi market in Agatal.  (full article). They've got an interesting twist in targeting two specific markets, hospitals and high density housing (HDUs) such as apartment blocks. Both these have some common characteristics. in that there is often a common owner and they pack a large number of potential customers into a small area. The aim is to provide broadband access site wide by leasing a conventional high speed T1 line into the site and then distributing internet access via WiFi. This works out dramatically cheaper for both customer and owner than running lots of broadband ADSL direct to each outlet or by running Cat5 everywhere to wiring closets. [from: JB Wifi]
