I guess Cablevision was feeling a little left out after the WiMaxMegaZord became official with Comcast and Time on board, because they're planning to drop $350 million on a wireless broadband network for New York. It'll basically be a big Wi-Fi network initially (free for customers), though Cablevision says "ultimately it will be a mobile voice-capable network." Which is the real peg: a quadruple play option with bundled wireless (now just to compete w/ TWC and Comcast, let alone wireless companies). At least hopefully, since a $350 million glorified Wi-Fi network isn't gonna get 'em very far. [Yahoo!]

Ummmm, does these seem like a huge failure to anyone else?
How about cablevision f**king gives me some more HD channels? DiscoveryHD!!!!!!!!!!!!!
umm...did they fail to mention carrier?
This is like saying "There is big news for XP"
News on this can swing good or bad. The fact that it's Cablevision/Optimum means it probably swings the latter. Hopefully my dollars sway for the good of mankind
yeah right...
Dude_ We're just going to be bombarded with Wireless everywhere by the time this is all done_
Think about it - 15 Carriers deploying Wireless in every major city - it switch from trying to find a wireless signal to ttrying to get away from the wireless signals_
