No, my point was that the ACT Government's public WiFi project is just a
PR exercise, not a serious communications project. There is no point
worrying about the details, as hardly anyone will use it and it will not
last long.

The provision of WiFi in public places in cities is not a new idea, not 
innovative and the sooner the ACT project is scrapped the better. I
suggest worrying about how schemes which are likely to be more widely
deployed at be more long term. As an example, Telstra's implementation
of "Fon" looks more significant:
