A massive mesh network
Filed under: Hardware, ranting
Since I obviously have a major say in the business decisions of companies like Clear Channel. I decided that since all their billboards are usually around normal building height, and almost all of them have power to light up the stupid signs at night, they should install WiFi routers, or any preferrably a better high speed wireless technology in all the signs. They could make a massive mesh network out of property they already own or lease, They could probably throw a couple cell phone repeaters in there as well, but for all I know they might be too low.
From the 30 seconds of research I did, Clear Channel alone ownes over 775,000 billboards nationwide. If I spent more time writing this I could probably mention how many other companies owne, but I figured this was enough information for someone to steal my idea.
In the end my only goal is for comcast to actually have some competition in the broadband internet access market so the market will force them to lower theirridiculously outrageus prices on their over-exaggerated bandwidth claims
