Nothing more than vacuous campaign trail banter.

I would agree except what is being "promised" is something already being implemented successfully abroad.
You conveniently use Philly as an example of a mixed bag, yet ignore japan, Korea, scandanavia, and other true 3G areas where it not only works, but has been operational for a few years.
i think in this case, we would not look domestically for an implementation model. We would have to look abroad.
I am not saying it wont cost cash. I think I have made it clear that I am more than willing to help pay for it in the form of a tax or if the networks want to charge me an extra 25 cents a month or something on my phone bill. That is great by me.
Are you suggesting that we not even try to make wi-fi accessible as it already is in other parts of the world?
