BART Finalizes 20-Year WiFi Agreement
If you have access to the Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) in CA, here’s another reason why you should take the train instead of drive. BART has finalized an agreement with WiFi Rail to install and provide WiFi connectivity on all BART commuter trains. Now you can cut out early and stay connected while commuting home to San Jose, Mr. 2-hour-train-ride.
Service on BART is scheduled to begin on selected segments during 2009. Four downtown San Francisco stations and some segments of the tunnels are already fully functional, and have been providing premium service free to subscribers for the past year… The WiFi Rail deployment in the BART system will become the largest high bandwidth mobile Internet LAN in the United States. Completion of network construction is planned for the end of 2010.
