[WISPA] S.F. nears WiFi deal

S.F. nears WiFi deal
By Sarah Jane Tribble
Mercury News

San Francisco's wait for citywide wireless is nearing an end, a city 
official said Thursday.

Chris Vein, director of the city's technology office, said he expects 
contract negotiations with the joint Google and Earthlink team that was 
awarded the nearly 50-square-mile project will end within the month. The 
city's board of supervisors should begin reviewing the contract in 
January and, if approved, installation will begin next year, he said.

``Certainly, this is taking a little longer than I had hoped,'' Vein 
said while speaking on a panel at the IEEE Globecom telecommunications 
conference held at the Fairmont Hotel this week. While not giving away 
details about the negotiations, Vein warned other communities to 
``expect the unexpected'' when building a network.

Under the proposal, EarthLink -- one of the nation's largest Internet 
service providers -- will build and maintain the wireless network. 
Google plans to buy bandwith from Earthlink and then offer a free 
wireless service to residents.

Data transfer speeds for free access would hover around 300 kilobits per 
second, slower than most DSL connections but faster than dial-up. 
EarthLink also will sell a service for about $20 a month that would run 
at 1 megabit per second.

After a lengthy bid process, San Francisco officials awarded the

[WISPA] HIPAA Problem Gets Worse

I need your help! It looks like I am going to have to go over the head 
of the IT guy at the area hospitals. According to the person I am 
speaking with I cannot even get a phone call returned from him to talk 
about the issues regarding wireless broadband delivery and HIPAA. The 
say flat out no use of wireless for connectivity to area health care 
centers.

Can some of you please send me some success stories offlist where you 
installed connections to health care facilities for them to use as their 
intranet connections? Any references to working with their IT people to 
deliver a solution that met HIPAA guidelines would be nice. Once I get 
some of those success stories I will request a meeting with the CEO of 
the hospital who is a friend of mine and can help us get this done.
Thanks guys,
Scriv

PS. Offlist your success stories to john <at> scrivner.com

Re: [WISPA] S.F. nears WiFi deal

Wouldn't it be nice to get paid $4000 per AP install?
Expecially when the average cost of a WARboard and custom MESH software is 
less than $400 a unit, and can get installed in less than 4 hours.
And then on top of it, get another 1.5million a year, to pay your staff?

I don't know if its Earthlink or SanFrancisco that's footing the bill, but 
to the life of me, I can't understand while these companies are justifing 
using infalted priced name brand gear on these projects.  Unless of course, 
its just FUD, quoting retail value to the governement, and not the REAL 
price they are getting the gear for.

[WISPA] New Recording LAW in effect today?

I caught a brief report on FoxNews today about a requirement for keeping 
copies of E-mail. It seems that we may be required to maintain a copy for 
use at later time for criminal courts. Anyone know of this or have more info 
on it? Is it every ISP or only Corporations. This could be disasterious..... 
sell alot of storage devices... The Foxnews report says the requirement 
begins today and as usual not a lot of detail.

Re: [WISPA] HIPAA Problem Gets Worse

The local hospital in town, that is also the employer of my two 
partners, has a Cisco wireless system in place, and has had since before 
we were in business. SSID is turned on, DHCP is turned off, and 
encryption is turned on. (WEP 128bit I think)
Recently, they went through an audit by an independent security agency, 
and while they did find some problems with insecure user passwords, the 
wireless lan was found to be fully HIPPA safe. Doctors use the wireless 
on their laptops to do their thing in the hospital, and it all seems to 
work fine.

Re: [WISPA] New Recording LAW in effect today?

We are common carriers.  We no more have to copy peoples e-mail than the 
phone company has to record the contents of every call.

Governor Schwarzenegger Announces Appointments to the Broadband Task Force
Nov 30, 2006 News Release
Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger today announced appointments to the

in the telecommunication revolution so that we can continue to attract 
the best, the brightest and the most creative workforce in the world," 
said Governor Schwarzenegger. "Broadband will help build California so 
we can grow our economy, create great jobs and stay ahead in the global 
marketplace."

Ellis Berns, Rachelle Chong, William Geppert, Charles Giancarlo, Paul 
Hernandez, William Huber, Christine Kehoe, Wendy Lazarus, Lloyd Levine,

[WISPA] bare conduits

Im looking at a project that requires connectivity between multiple
buildings on the same campus.  There are 4" conduits connecting each
facility.  The conduits are bare, Id like to run fiber in them, and
there are no pull cords in them.  Some are several hundred yards long.
Ive heard that you can blow a cable through a conduit.  Can anyone
enlighten me on equipment/technique for this application?

Thanks

Chris
