Wi-Fi Issues ‘Plague’ Lompoc Project – Sketchy connectivity and low subscriber count

In: VoIP

9 Apr 2007

Citywide $20 Wi-Fi launched in Lompoc, California last year after a number of delays. The Lompoc Record reports that the $3 million system is still plagued by coverage issues, and only 281 users have signed up for service. A 2003 feasibility study stated that the city would need 4,000 customers in order to break even — though the city says they’ve recently lowered rates which has helped:”Lompoc recently reduced its WiFi utility rates from $19.95 a month to three plans: A Hotspot plan of $9.99 per month for unlimited, self-supported Internet access for one user as an ongoing monthly subscription or a single one-month purchase; a family plan of $15.99 per month for unlimited Internet access for up to three users at a time; and a daily plan of $4.99 for 24 hours of Internet access for one user at a time.”But they’re also having to deploy bridges and hire a technician to help sort out the connectivity issues, notes the report.
