The Toronto Star had an article about the downtown WiFi trial that Toronto Hydro has had running for the past four months.
With speeds of up to 5Mbps, It was found to be the fastest of 41 municipal networks tested by Novarum Consulting‘s latest quarterly ranking.
Of course, you need to keep in mind that One Zone has 230 access points and the number of people on the network at any time has ranged from 270 to 900. There seems to be lots of capacity – where are all the users?
Will people pay once the trial period is over? Do the economics work? David Dobbin, president of Toronto Hydro Telecom, will be talking about One Zone at The Canadian Telecom Summit in June.
