How will Wireless Atlanta affect Atlantas businesses?
Wireless Atlanta will offer businesses the opportunity to both access the Citywide broadband network and save on business level (T1 and above) broadband services. The City is requiring that the selected company provide T1 services for small business. Since wireless does not require the expensive wired infrastructure often affiliated with T1 service, business customers should expect to save substantially on their broadband costs. In addition, Wireless Atlanta will allow businesses portable access to the network throughout the City and provide the opportunity for businesses to develop innovative mobile applications that increase productivity and decrease costs.
