Wifi in The Villages

[dandt]

What are the chances that The Villages will go wifi community wide?

Is that a question or are you asking about the odds? ;D

It was a question. I've heard that it's been discussed, but of course there are stories about everything "being considered." I've seen several communities listed recently that have become wifi throughout, so am wondering if such a development might be possible or likely here.

It would be a wonderful thing if they did. I can't even imagine what a thing like that would cost them. When a community does it, do they charge the subscribers for use. Like a hotel, where you have to go to their home page and sign in.

I wonder too about the technical aspect of it. I guess they would have to go around and put transmitters everywhere. Sounds like an expensive undertaking.....one which would not return an benefit, other than good public relations.....unless they charged a fee.
