The latest scoop on WiFI and century village
So we had a Town Hall Meeting. The subject was WiFI. And guess what? Nothing new. Well if you call the fact that the powers that be, our Good president, has decided to revisit his plan to Contract for WiFI now!
Now they, he, has decided to take another look, to send out a new RFP, to see if we can get some mid- level companies to be involved. What is wrong with Google? I see that they have just Wi- fi’ed their whole neighborhood in lower Manhattan using the light poles for the antennas.
At any rate taking another look, another deeper look is a good thing. I know that the Tower is going to be a problem. David says that getting the approvals is routine and will be handled as a matter of course. That the problem with permits is routine and will be handled as we come to them, oh yea? David’s attitude is always the same in that we can take care of problems as we come across them. Well it seems to me that a little pre-planning is called for here. What is wrong with checking with the County, down the street, and asking? What is wrong with checking with PBIA about the tower requirements? What is wrong with letting the Bid Committee to do their job?
Perhaps David wants to Bid this effort first. Fine, but give it to the Bid Committee to do. He doesn’t have to hog all the work. And who says, beside Israel himself, that he has the knowledge and experience for this job?
What sour grapes you spew. WiFi is the best investment we can make. It will help keep our prices up and our village in the forefront. Why stay in the past with the cob webs?
ReplyDeleteDear Grace,
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, after reading this blog and getting the truth, you still do not understand a thing. We are NOT saying we are against Wi-Fi, we are saying WE WANT WI-FI after we have investigated our options thoroughly. We do NOT WANT ANOTHER ROADWAY FIASCO. David Israel lied to the delegates about the roadway, and he is repeating the same scenario again by rushing into Wi-Fi. Dig your head out of the sand Grace and face reality. Accept the past mistakes of this administration, don’t ignore them. The future is spending money wisely not foolishly.
Wi-Fi does not raise the prices of units in the village; the economy does.
Grace, since you live in Dorchester, and Dan owns a place in Dorchester, why not ask him how much more the condos in his building sold for since they have wi-fi installed? Betcha' it's not a dime more than they would have without wi-fi. Wi-fi is wonderful if and when it's done right, but don't look to get rich on selling a condo in the village as a result of having wi-fi, 'cause it ain't gonna' happen
