Guest Guest Posted March 28, 2008 Report Share Posted March 28, 2008 For about $100,000 the City of Binghamton installed 16 wifi locations. If they had given $500 grants they could have installed 196 location and NEVER had to worry about the system themselves!!! BU Adjunct Lecturer Mastrangelo and his students did not mention that in their report Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Guest Posted March 28, 2008 Report Share Posted March 28, 2008 $6000 (six thousand) for 16 locations mainly outside! A private business can wire its space for $500 or less. For what Ryan and Abdelazim spent on Plexicomm alone to get a signal on six or seven blocks downtown, outside only, for only tow years they could have covered the ENTIRE city inside and out for a decade. What they did should be a cirme. The spent ONE-HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS ON A NO-BID CONTRACT FOR NOTHING. Binghamton University Adjunct Lecturer Angelo Mastrangelo, Jim Dimascio and Mastrangelo's grad students (Peter Baisch, Phillip Barbee, Kara Bassett, Gary Ondecko, Amy Smith) all rubber-stamped the waste. So much for critical analysis and assessment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guest Posted March 28, 2008 Report Share Posted March 28, 2008 Can anybody, ANYBODY AT ALL, justify this waste of money. Think about it, had the City provided grants to businesses to do it own their own you could have wifi service almost everywhere in the entire city INSIDE & OUTSIDE. The City would have hardly any management of it to do and ZERO repairs. What a collossal waste of money and poor management. Matthew T. Ryan and Tarik Abdleazim at "work" again! @ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Guest Posted March 29, 2008 Report Share Posted March 29, 2008 $6000 per location OUTSIDE. I put in a wirelss system for my clents in a small business and it cost me about $350. Thin how many other businesses could have done the same with $100,000.... $6000 (six thousand) for 16 locations mainly outside! A private business can wire its space for $500 or less.

Misanthrope Posted March 30, 2008 Report Share Posted March 30, 2008 I took my laptop downtown last night to surf using the Bingowifi and ended up using someone else's signal because the connection was better. Although Bingowifi is faster than RR business class. @ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guest Posted March 30, 2008 Report Share Posted March 30, 2008 We hear more and more stories like that. $100,000 for that system. What a waste. Two hundred business could have used a grant of $500 or less each and done a much better job. Abdelaizm and Ryan have no idea what they are doing. @ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
