SJ Mercury News on Silicon Valley Wireless Network

Well, ARMA Group seems to be on a roll. Today's San Jose Mercury News discusses the question of who funds the Silicon Valley Wireless Network. If you recall we posed the same question in our coverage of the WCAI event from January 19th. In general, this has been a question which has dogged fixed and mobile wireless networks over the years. Some may recall Metricom which tried to deploy a mobile wireless network, Ricochet, in 2000. They had significant experience in wireless and good technology, but the revenue recovery posed a problem which was too much to overcome for the company in a short period of time. But, maybe technology has advanced over time and costs have come down and there are more interests willing to pitch in to develop a wireless network for the Valley.
